K-Tech TRDS-R Rear Shock Honda CBR 1000 RR-R / SP SC82 (2020-2026) 261-020-130-020

The K-Tech TRDS-R is the smart entry point into professional-grade suspension for the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R and SP SC82. Built around K-Tech's Through-Rod technology and engineered to work within championship cost regulations, it delivers the kind of precise, adjustable damping that transforms your CBR's behaviour on track — without demanding factory-team resources to set it up.

Key Features

• Through-Rod design eliminates the need for an external reservoir, keeping the package compact and making fitment straightforward even in tight chassis spaces.
• Improved heat dissipation through the Through-Rod architecture maintains consistent damping performance across extended sessions, including endurance and sprint formats.
• The 'R' (Regulation) designation means the unit is optimised for championship cost-cap environments — ideal for club racers, privateer teams and budget-conscious competitors chasing faster lap times.
• 18-click compression and 18-click rebound adjusters (suggested baseline) give riders and technicians a wide, accessible tuning range without specialist tooling.
• 12 mm preload adjustment (suggested baseline) and a 4.00 mm RCU travel range allow fine-grained spring platform tuning to suit different rider weights and circuit characteristics.
• Proven at the highest levels of British Superbike racing and the Isle of Man TT, the TRDS-R has the race pedigree to back up everyday track-day use.

Performance and Build Quality

Where many track-focused shock absorbers require an external piggyback reservoir to manage oil temperature, the K-Tech TRDS-R achieves thermal stability through its Through-Rod construction alone. The rod passes through the full length of the damper body, increasing the effective oil volume in contact with the outer casing and allowing heat to dissipate naturally. The result is damping that stays consistent from lap one to the final corner of a long stint — a tangible advantage whether you are hunting a personal best at a trackday or fighting for position in a race series.

The 45 mm RCPU body diameter and 14 mm rod are matched to the SC82 chassis geometry and the 59-150 spring series, giving a 317 mm eye-to-eye length and a 60 mm stroke that mirrors OEM mounting dimensions for a direct swap. Installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is recommended to ensure correct setup and to preserve the unit's performance warranty.

Who Is the TRDS-R For?

This shock absorber is deliberately positioned for riders and small teams operating under championship cost restrictions or without full factory backing. The Regulation specification makes it eligible in classes where components are price-capped, while the breadth of adjustment available means it is equally at home on a Sunday trackday machine that needs to handle changing conditions without a dedicated technician on standby. If you want a genuine race unit that you can actually afford, set up yourself and trust on the road to the grid, the TRDS-R is the answer.
