DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered exclusively for the Ducati Panigale V2 955, the K-Tech GBS-019 slide bush kit brings precision German suspension craftsmanship to one of Italy's most celebrated superbikes. Where OEM bushes wear and drag, the GBS-019's copper-coated hardened steel construction and PTFE contact surface deliver a fork action that feels noticeably more fluid from the first corner.

Key Features

  • Direct OEM replacement — machined to the exact dimensions of the factory Panigale V2 955 fork guide bushes for a fitment that requires no modification.
  • Hardened steel core with copper coating provides outstanding resistance to both wear and corrosion, extending service intervals well beyond the originals.
  • PTFE contact surface minimises sliding friction, giving the fork a smoother, more consistent stroke under braking and mid-corner loading.
  • Supplied as a complete two-bush set — everything needed for a full front fork service in one box.
  • Carries the K-Tech part number GBS-019, ensuring straightforward reordering and workshop traceability.

Design, Finish and Heritage

K-Tech Suspension has built its reputation on components that meet — and often exceed — the standards demanded by professional race teams. The GBS-019 reflects that heritage: the copper finish is not merely decorative but forms an integral anti-corrosion and load-spreading layer between the hardened steel body and the fork tube. The PTFE contact surface, applied with the same attention to detail found in K-Tech's competition-grade cartridge kits, ensures the bush moves with a precision and consistency that the stock part simply cannot match after a season of hard use. Visually, the warm copper tone makes it easy to identify the K-Tech bushes at a glance during a workshop inspection — a small but telling sign of considered engineering.

Performance on Road and Track

The front fork is the single most important element of steering feel on the Panigale V2 955. Worn or high-friction guide bushes introduce stick-slip behaviour that manifests as vague turn-in, inconsistent braking feel and poor small-bump compliance. Replacing them with the GBS-019 kit restores the fork's designed geometry and freedom of movement, translating directly into more confident corner entry, better feedback through the bars and reduced rider fatigue on longer track days or sport-touring runs.
