DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered for riders and teams who demand lap-time gains without compromise, the K-Tech TRDS-R rear shock absorber is built specifically for the Ducati Panigale V2 955 (2020–2024). The 'R' in TRDS-R stands for Regulation — a design philosophy that delivers race-winning suspension precision within the tightest budget or sporting regulations, making genuine British Superbike and Isle of Man TT-level performance accessible to every serious competitor.

Key Features

  • Through-Rod technology provides a more consistent and predictable damping response compared to conventional monotube designs, giving riders and technicians reliable data lap after lap.
  • The 'Regulation' specification makes this unit fully compliant for use under price-restricted or spec-class race regulations, without sacrificing outright performance.
  • Compact damper body with enhanced heat dissipation sustains consistent performance throughout a full race distance, resisting fade under repeated hard braking and heavy cornering loads.
  • Precisely adjustable compression and rebound circuits — 18 clicks each (suggested baseline) — allow fine suspension tuning to match circuit conditions, tyre choice and rider style.
  • 16 mm spring preload adjustment (suggested baseline) enables fast ride-height and balance changes between sessions without specialist tooling.
  • Proven at the very highest levels of national and international competition, including British Superbike and the Isle of Man TT.

Through-Rod Technology Explained

Unlike a conventional twin-tube shock, K-Tech's Through-Rod design runs a single rod through the full length of the damper body. This geometry equalises pressure more effectively, dramatically reduces the risk of cavitation and allows the suspension engineer to monitor and adjust damping characteristics with a level of accuracy normally reserved for factory prototype programmes. On the Panigale V2 955 — a bike already well-regarded for its chassis balance — the TRDS-R elevates rear-end communication to a new level, letting you push harder into braking zones with the confidence that the suspension will respond predictably every time.

Race-Proven Performance

The TRDS-R is not a road-to-track crossover product; it is a purpose-built race component. Its adoption by competitive teams in British Superbike and by riders tackling the Isle of Man TT underlines the unit's durability and tunability in the most demanding environments imaginable. Whether you are chasing a club championship or a national title, the TRDS-R gives you a factory-grade suspension tool at a price point that does not require works-team backing.
