DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered with rider safety and suspension precision at its core, the Forsaken Motorsport linear rocker link transforms the rear suspension character of the Ducati Panigale V4/S (2018–2024) by replacing the factory progressive rate with a linear spring rate — delivering more predictable traction, improved feedback, and controlled power transfer in every corner.
Key Features
- Linear suspension rate replaces the factory progressive curve, flattening load response for more consistent traction and more intuitive power transfer through the rear tyre.
- 35% stiffer than the original rocker link under load, minimising flex and deflection for a more stable, trustworthy platform on road and track.
- CNC-machined from a solid aluminium billet on a Haas VM3 machining centre in Canada, holding the tightest tolerances for long-term dimensional stability.
- Designed using MotoSpec software to ensure the geometry change is precisely calculated for the Panigale V4 chassis — no guesswork, no approximation.
- New bearings included as standard; original bolts, sleeves and seals are reusable, reducing installation cost and waste.
- The stock shock spring remains compatible, so you can run your existing suspension setup while fine-tuning compression and rebound damping to suit the new linear rate.
- Optional titanium bolt kit available to reduce unsprung rotating mass while maintaining the clamping integrity of every critical fastener.
Performance & Build Quality
The Forsaken Motorsport linear rocker link was conceived as a response to the Ducati Panigale V4's factory progressive linkage, which can mask mid-corner feedback and make shock setup less intuitive. By switching to a linear rate, the suspension works in a more predictable, linear fashion across the full stroke — an approach well established in top-level circuit racing. The result is improved traction feel at the rear tyre, cleaner corner exits, and a chassis that responds proportionally to rider input rather than fighting the geometry.
Every link is machined in Canada from aerospace-grade aluminium billet, ensuring the finished part is both lighter and substantially more rigid than an equivalent cast component. The 35% stiffness gain over the standard rocker link means less energy is lost to component flex, and the forces reaching the shock absorber are a truer representation of what the tyre is doing on the road surface.
Setup & Adjustability
Because the progressive rate of the factory linkage is removed, your shock absorber's damping settings will need slight recalibration. Both compression and rebound should be adjusted to complement the flatter rate — a worthwhile one-time process that results in a more dialled-in and repeatable base setup. The stock spring works with this link, though riders with specific weight or riding-style requirements may choose an alternative rate spring at the same time. All original hardware including bolts, sleeves and seals can be refitted, keeping the installation straightforward for any competent mechanic.
Fitment & Compatibility
This linear rocker link is designed and manufactured specifically for the Ducati Panigale V4 and Panigale V4 S, covering model years 2018 through 2024. It is suitable for solo rider use only and is not approved for pillion operation. Developed and produced by Forsaken Motorsport, Canada.
