On track, where every millisecond of fork response determines corner entry confidence, the quality of your fork slider bushings is not a detail to overlook. The K-Tech GBS-038 slider bushing kit is precision-engineered specifically for the Ducati Panigale 1199 (2012–2014), delivering a direct OEM replacement with measurably lower friction and longer service life — exactly what a racing or track-day build demands.
Key Features
- Hardened steel construction with copper and PTFE coating for maximum wear resistance and corrosion protection
- PTFE-coated contact surfaces reduce friction to a minimum, improving fork response and feel at the front tyre
- Direct OEM replacement — engineered to the exact dimensions of the Ducati Panigale 1199 factory bushings
- Complete renewal kit: two bushings supplied for a full front fork service in a single purchase
- Precision manufacture to K-Tech's exacting tolerances, the same standards used across their professional suspension programme
Performance at the Track
The Ducati Panigale 1199 is a machine built around razor-sharp handling, and its fork action is central to that character. As slider bushings wear, fork stiction increases and the front end loses the precision that makes this bike so rewarding to push. The K-Tech GBS-038 kit restores — and in many cases improves upon — that factory response by pairing hardened steel with a dual copper and PTFE surface treatment. The result is a fork that moves freely and consistently through its stroke, giving the rider clear, unfiltered feedback whether they are threading through a chicane or braking deep into a hairpin.
Construction & Materials
Each bushing in this kit is manufactured from hardened steel, providing a rigid, dimensionally stable base that resists deformation under the high lateral loads that occur during hard braking and aggressive cornering. The copper layer bonds to the steel substrate and acts as a sacrificial barrier against corrosion and surface damage, while the outer PTFE coating provides the low-friction interface with the fork inner tube. This layered approach is the same technology found in high-end motorsport applications and ensures that the bushings maintain their performance characteristics across a wide range of operating temperatures and conditions.
Fitment & Compatibility
This kit is designed exclusively for the following application:
- Ducati Panigale 1199 — model years 2012, 2013 and 2014
Installation should be carried out by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure optimum functionality and maximum safety.
