With genuine anti-cavitation protection and 30 clicks of independent compression and rebound adjustment, this closed cartridge kit delivers the kind of consistent, repeatable damping response that separates a podium lap from a frustrating one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect Damping System (DDS) technology provides 30 clicks each of compression and rebound adjustment for fine-grained, trackside setup changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented closed cartridge design actively prevents cavitation under extreme cornering loads and high-speed braking, ensuring stable damping force throughout a full race session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 mm working piston paired with a 31 mm control piston generates an exceptional oil flow rate for rapid, accurate damping response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes three pairs of springs from the 36-260 series, covering a range of rider weights and track conditions straight out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll necessary tooling is supplied, making installation straightforward without specialist workshop equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer-recommended baseline settings give a proven starting point: 16 clicks compression, 18 clicks rebound, 10 mm preload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DDS architecture at the heart of this kit replaces the factory damping circuit with a direct-acting control valve that eliminates the lag inherent in conventional cartridge designs. Oil is channelled through a precisely machined 31 mm control piston, producing a linear and highly predictable damping curve across the full click range. The closed cartridge format keeps the oil circuit sealed from the outer fork chamber, dramatically reducing aeration and the performance degradation that comes with it during prolonged track use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech manufactures this kit to exacting tolerances, and the part number 155-019-070-020 is specific to the Ducati Panigale V4 R application. The 711 mm cartridge length, 20 mm inner diameter and 32 mm outer diameter are dimensioned to drop directly into the factory fork legs without modification, preserving the V4 R's geometry while unlocking a level of adjustability far beyond the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack \u0026amp; Road Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are chasing lap times at a circuit day or demanding absolute confidence on a fast mountain road, the K-Tech DDS kit rewards a methodical setup approach. The 30-click compression and rebound range is wide enough to accommodate significant changes in conditions — cold morning tyres, progressive rubber warm-up, or a new tyre compound — while the cavitation-free design means the fork character remains consistent through back-to-back fast laps rather than fading as oil temperature rises. The included spring set and tooling reduce the barrier to a proper professional-level setup for any ambitious Panigale V4 R owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge kit is designed and validated exclusively for the following application:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale V4 R — model years 2019, 2020, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways verify fork tube dimensions against your specific machine before installation.
