DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered for riders who demand race-ready front-end performance, the K-Tech 25IDS Open Cartridge Kit transforms the fork of the Ducati Panigale V4 S into a fully tuneable precision instrument. Built around the 25mm Independent Damping System, this cartridge kit gives serious track riders independent control over both compression and rebound — the foundation of genuine, repeatable suspension setup.
Key Features
- 25mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) delivers truly independent compression and rebound adjustment — dial in each circuit without compromise
- 30 clicks of independent compression adjustment and 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment for granular, trackside-repeatable tuning
- Increased stroke over the stock cartridge for enhanced suspension travel and improved feedback under hard braking and corner entry
- Aerospace-grade aluminium construction with hard-anodised, super-finished components for maximum durability and reduced friction
- Wide range of compatible springs available from the 36-260 series — ordered separately to match individual rider weight and riding style
- Part number 130-012-070-025 ensures direct, correct-fit application for the V4 S platform
Performance on Track
The 25IDS architecture separates compression and rebound circuits entirely, meaning a change to one does not bleed into the other. This is the quality that sets the K-Tech cartridge apart from standard OEM internals and makes it the preferred choice of club racers, trackday regulars and professional teams running the Panigale V4 S. The super-finished hard-anodised surfaces minimise stiction throughout the stroke, translating into consistent damping force whether you are threading through a fast chicane or braking late into a hairpin.
Build Quality
Every component in this kit is machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and treated to K-Tech's hard-anodised super-finished specification. The increased stroke compared to the original cartridge is not simply a numbers improvement — it provides a more progressive feel through mid-corner and greater compliance over kerbs and track imperfections. Suggested baseline settings are provided (oil/air cap 145 mm, compression 12 clicks, rebound 18 clicks, preload 8 mm) to get you on track quickly, with the full 30-click range available for fine-tuning from there.
