DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered from aerospace-grade aluminium with hard-anodised, super-finished internals, the K-Tech 25IDS Open Cartridge Kit transforms the front-end behaviour of the Ducati Panigale 1199 S and R into something genuinely race-ready. Where the stock cartridge leaves precision on the table, the 25IDS Independent Damping System puts full control back in the rider's hands — separately adjustable compression and rebound, every time.

Key Features

  • 25mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) for completely separate compression and rebound tuning — 30 clicks each, with no interaction between circuits
  • Aerospace-grade aluminium construction throughout, hard-anodised and super-finished for reduced friction and long service life
  • Increased travel over the factory cartridge, giving a broader tuning window for both road and circuit use
  • Suggested baseline settings provided (compression 12 clicks, rebound 18 clicks, preload 8 mm) so you have a calibrated starting point straight from the box
  • Compatible springs from the 36-260 series available separately, allowing precise rate selection for rider weight and riding style
  • Part number 130-012-070-025 — a direct-fit solution for the Panigale 1199 S and R, not a universal adapter

Build Quality and Materials

K-Tech's reputation in professional racing comes directly from its uncompromising material choices. Every component in the 25IDS kit is machined from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy, then subjected to a hard-anodising and super-finishing process that minimises stiction and surface wear. The result is a cartridge that responds with the same sharpness on the hundredth lap as it does on the first. The extended travel over the OEM unit is not simply a dimensional change — it opens up a wider tuning envelope, meaning riders who push into more aggressive territory are not penalised by a cartridge that runs out of usable range.

The 25IDS Advantage

Independent Damping System means exactly what it says: the compression circuit and the rebound circuit operate without any mechanical cross-influence. Adjust compression and only compression changes. Adjust rebound and only rebound changes. With 30 clicks of adjustment on each circuit, the resolution is fine enough to feel meaningful differences between single-click increments. Combined with the separate preload adjustment, this gives a three-axis tuning platform that a suspension engineer or an experienced track rider will immediately recognise as a professional-grade tool.

Fitment and Compatibility

This cartridge kit is designed exclusively for the Ducati Panigale 1199 S and R variants built between 2012 and 2017. It is not compatible with the standard (non-S, non-R) 1199 or any other Panigale variant. Installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is strongly recommended to ensure correct setup and to protect the integrity of the fork internals.

Springs are not included and must be ordered separately from the 36-260 series. Selecting the correct spring rate for your weight and intended use is essential to realising the full benefit of the 25IDS system.
