Machined to exact OEM dimensions from hardened steel with a copper coating and PTFE-treated contact faces, these bushes represent a considered upgrade over standard replacements — combining corrosion resistance, low friction and long service life in a single, ready-to-fit pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction with copper coating delivers superior corrosion resistance and structural rigidity under sustained load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact faces reduce sliding friction, sharpening fork response and improving overall suspension dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to exact OEM specifications — inner diameter 43.00 mm, outer diameter 46.00 mm — ensuring a direct, hassle-free replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a matched pair so both fork legs are serviced simultaneously, maintaining perfect balance across the front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned exclusively for the S-model variants of the Ducati Panigale V4 S, covering the full 2018–2024 production run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign, Finish and Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech Suspension has spent decades developing components for professional race teams and demanding road riders alike. The GBS-018 reflects that heritage: every dimension is held to tight tolerances that honour the original Ducati engineering while the copper and PTFE surface treatments elevate durability and feel beyond what a bare steel bush can offer. The result is a component that looks purposeful, fits perfectly and performs with the quiet confidence you would expect from a specialist brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance on Road and Track\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn or degraded fork bushes introduce play into the fork legs, eroding the steering precision and feedback that make the Panigale V4 S such a rewarding machine. Replacing them with the GBS-018 restores the tight tolerances the Ohlins fork was designed around, bringing back the direct, communicative feel at the front end. Whether you are working through a technical circuit sector or threading a demanding mountain road, the reduction in friction afforded by the PTFE coating keeps fork action smooth and consistent throughout the travel range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit fits exclusively the S-model of the Ducati Panigale V4 S (2018–2024). It is not compatible with the standard Panigale V4 or other V4-family derivatives. If you are unsure which fork specification your machine carries, please confirm with your dealer before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires specialised tools and suspension knowledge.
