DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered for riders who demand race-winning front-end precision, the K-Tech DDS Closed Cartridge Kit transforms the fork performance of the Ducati Panigale V2 955 (2020-2024) into something genuinely track-ready. Proven at the highest levels of competition — including British Superbike and the Isle of Man TT — this Direct Damping System delivers the consistency and feedback that separates podium finishes from also-rans.

Key Features

  • Direct Damping System (DDS) technology uses a 20 mm piston and 31 mm control piston for precise, responsive damping across the full stroke
  • Anti-cavitation design maintains consistent damping performance under hard braking and rapid direction changes, eliminating the fade that plagues standard cartridges
  • Increased stroke over the original cartridge improves wheel-tracking capability and ride stability at race speeds
  • Asymmetric damping architecture enhances dynamic response, giving the front end sharper turn-in without sacrificing mid-corner composure
  • Optimised suggested baseline settings — 16 compression clicks, 18 rebound clicks, 10 mm preload — provide a strong starting point for track-day and race-weekend setup
  • 36-260 series spring compatibility allows tuning to rider weight and riding style

Race-Bred Performance

The K-Tech DDS Closed Cartridge Kit is not a bolt-in comfort upgrade — it is a precision suspension tool developed alongside professional race teams. The closed cartridge architecture separates the damping oil from the spring chamber, eliminating the air-entrainment and cavitation that cause inconsistent fork behaviour when braking from high speed or attacking aggressive kerbs. The result is a front end that communicates crisply through every phase of a lap, giving the rider the confidence to brake deeper and carry more corner speed.

Engineering Detail

At the core of the system is the 20 mm main piston paired with a 31 mm control piston. This combination allows fine separation of low-speed and high-speed damping forces — critical when the Panigale V2 955 transitions from a smooth circuit surface to a bumpy braking zone. The asymmetric damping characteristic means compression and rebound forces are tuned independently to suit the chassis geometry of the V2, rather than simply mirroring one another. The increased stroke versus the factory cartridge provides additional compliance without sacrificing the rigidity needed for hard track use.

Suggested Baseline Settings

K-Tech supplies the following starting-point settings to get riders on track quickly. These are recommendations that can be refined to suit individual preference and circuit demands.

  • Compression: 16 clicks from fully closed
  • Rebound: 18 clicks from fully closed
  • Preload: 10 mm
