Designed to fit the Panigale V4 from 2018 to 2024, this closed cartridge system replaces the factory internals with fully adjustable, race-proven damping technology that works just as well on a Sunday morning road ride as it does on a full circuit day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 mm inner piston promotes high oil flow for precise, responsive damping across all conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent compression and rebound circuits — 30 clicks each — allow fine, asymmetric tuning without compromise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented anti-cavitation design maintains consistent damping performance under sustained hard use, where standard cartridges fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 mm preload adjustment range for dialling in sag to your exact weight and riding style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased stroke compared to the original cartridge improves damping efficiency and feel through long, high-speed compressions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace-pedigree design used in the British Superbike Championship and at the Isle of Man TT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEveryday Usability and Real-World Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike many race-only suspension upgrades, the K-Tech DDS cartridge kit is genuinely practical for road use. The wide 30-click adjustment range on both compression and rebound means you can set the fork up softly for a relaxed road commute, then firm everything up for a track day — all without removing a wheel. Three pairs of springs are included in the kit along with the necessary installation tools, so you are not sourcing ancillaries separately. The suggested baseline settings (compression 16 clicks, rebound 18 clicks, preload 10 mm, oil-air gap 185 mm) give you a strong starting point straight out of the box, saving time and guesswork during initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDDS System: How It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech's DDS (Damper Design System) uses a closed cartridge architecture with independent damping circuits. Because compression and rebound are handled by separate, asymmetric valving stacks, adjusting one parameter does not inadvertently alter the other — a limitation that plagues many conventional cartridge designs. The 20 mm piston bore allows a high volume of oil to pass through, reducing heat build-up and the cavitation that causes inconsistent fork action during repeated heavy braking events. The result is a fork that feels the same on lap one as it does on lap twenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed exclusively for the Ducati Panigale V4 S model, covering model years 2018 through 2024. It is not a universal cartridge; the geometry, spring series (36-260), and dimensions are engineered specifically around the Panigale V4 S fork architecture. Installation requires specialist tools and techniques — K-Tech strongly recommends fitting by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure optimum performance and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e155-018-070-020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDucati Panigale V4 S (2018-2024)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36-260\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner Diameter (piston)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e696 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil\/Air Gap (suggested)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e185 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 clicks independent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRebound Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 clicks independent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreload Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 mm range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuggested Compression Setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 clicks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuggested Rebound Setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 clicks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuggested Preload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168823927050,"sku":"155-018-070-020","price":34740.66,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/DDS3_e19ab6d5-2cc3-4a85-aa4b-d0904b2c6bd2.png?v=1780816676","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-mx\/products\/k-tech-dds-closed-cartridge-kit-ducati-panigale-v4","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
