DescriptionThe whole story▼
Precision suspension tuning for the Ducati Panigale 1199 starts here. The K-Tech 25IDS Open Cartridge Kit gives you genuine, rider-focused control over your fork's behaviour — independently adjustable compression and rebound damping let you dial in a setup that works all day on road or track, whether you are chasing lap times or covering serious miles in comfort.
Key Features
- 25mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) with 30 clicks of independent compression adjustment and 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment for precise, repeatable tuning
- Increased stroke compared to the original cartridge, improving suspension travel and compliance over varied surfaces
- Aircraft-grade aluminium construction with hard-anodised, super-finished components for exceptional durability and reduced friction
- Adjustable spring preload allows fine-tuning of ride height and sag to suit rider weight and riding style
- Wide range of compatible 36-260 series springs available separately, enabling full customisation of spring rate
- Part number 130-012-070-020 — direct fitment for Ducati Panigale 1199 model years 2012 to 2014
All-Day Comfort Through Intelligent Damping
The 25IDS design separates compression and rebound circuits entirely, so adjustments to one do not affect the other. This makes finding the sweet spot for your riding far more intuitive than conventional cartridge designs. Whether you need a softer, more forgiving setup for long days in the saddle or a firmer, track-focused configuration, the 30-click range on each circuit gives you the resolution to get there without compromise.
The super-finished internal surfaces reduce stiction dramatically, meaning the fork responds to small road inputs as readily as it does to hard braking events. Over a long ride, that consistency translates directly into reduced fatigue and greater confidence.
Build Quality
K-Tech manufactures the 25IDS cartridge from aircraft-grade aluminium, hard-anodised to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of sustained performance riding. The super-finished treatment on key sliding surfaces is not cosmetic — it is a functional specification that directly influences how smoothly and consistently the damping operates throughout the stroke. The increased hub (stroke) relative to the standard cartridge means the fork can absorb more without running out of travel.
Installation Note
K-Tech recommends installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct fitment, oil fill level, and baseline settings. Matching springs from the 36-260 series must be ordered separately.
