When lap times matter and suspension precision is non-negotiable, the K-Tech GBS-018 fork slide bush kit delivers the consistent, low-friction fork action that the Ducati Panigale 1299 S and R demand on track. Manufactured to exact OEM dimensions in hardened steel with a copper coating and PTFE-lined contact surfaces, this kit restores factory fork feel — or improves on worn originals — with components engineered to the same standards as K-Tech's race-proven suspension programme.
Key Features
- PTFE-coated contact faces reduce sliding friction for smoother, more responsive fork movement under hard braking and high-speed compression
- Hardened steel construction with copper coating provides long service life and effective corrosion resistance — essential for bikes that see both track and wet-weather road use
- Manufactured to precise OEM specifications (inner diameter 43.00 mm, outer diameter 46.00 mm) for a direct, fuss-free installation
- Supplied as a complete pair, covering both fork legs in a single purchase
- Exclusive to the S and R variants of the Ducati Panigale 1299 — engineered for the correct fork internals fitted to those models
Performance on Track
The Panigale 1299 S and R are equipped with sophisticated fully adjustable forks that reward precise setup work. Worn or high-friction slide bushes introduce vague feedback, inconsistent damping and unpredictable handling — precisely the conditions that cost time at the apex. The GBS-018 kit eliminates that variable. The PTFE surface treatment keeps stiction to a minimum across the full range of fork travel, allowing the damping cartridge to work as intended whether you are trail-braking into a fast chicane or absorbing kerbs mid-corner.
Build Quality
K-Tech machines each bush in hardened steel and applies a copper undercoat before the PTFE finish. The copper layer acts as a bonding interface that improves coating adhesion and adds a secondary barrier against moisture ingress — useful when the bike is stored between track days. Dimensional tolerances follow OEM drawings exactly, so the bushes locate correctly without shimming or modification.
Installation Note
Installation requires specialist fork tooling and technical knowledge. K-Tech strongly recommends fitting by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct assembly and protect the fork components.
