DescriptionThe whole story

Purpose-built for the Honda CBR 600 RR model years 2021 to 2026, the K-Tech 25IDS Open Cartridge Kit transplants genuine race-derived suspension engineering directly into your stock fork legs. The 25 mm Independent Damping System gives you separate, dedicated adjustment circuits for compression and rebound, so every click counts and every change is felt exactly where you intend it.

Key Features

  • 25 mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) — compression and rebound are tuned in complete isolation, eliminating the compromise inherent in linked-circuit OEM cartridges
  • 24 clicks of independent compression adjustment and 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment for a wide, precise tuning range suited to both track days and road riding
  • Increased travel of 120 mm over the standard cartridge, raising overall fork performance and improving wheel tracking under heavy braking
  • Aircraft-grade aluminium construction with hard-anodised and super-finished surfaces for exceptional wear resistance and long service life
  • Designed as a direct fit for the Honda CBR 600 RR stock fork — no fork leg modification required
  • Compatible with the full K-Tech 36-260 spring range, allowing rider-specific spring rate selection (springs must be ordered separately)

Performance on Track and Road

The 25IDS architecture was conceived in K-Tech's race programme and filters down directly to this CBR 600 RR kit. On circuit, independent damping means you can dial in a firm, responsive compression circuit to combat dive under late braking while keeping the rebound circuit supple enough to maintain tyre contact through linked corners. The super-finished internal components reduce stiction to a minimum, giving the fork a sensitivity that OEM cartridges simply cannot match at a similar price point.

On the road, the same independence that benefits lap times translates into a fork that copes naturally with surface changes — you can run a road-biased rebound setting without compromising the compression damping you have calibrated for your weight and riding style. The hard-anodised finish protects every component against corrosion and the abrasive effects of fork oil degradation over high mileage.

Setup Guidance

K-Tech publishes suggested baseline settings to get you on the bike quickly. The recommended oil and air cap position is 145 mm, compression clicks 12 from full stiff, rebound clicks 18 from full stiff, and spring preload 8 mm. These figures are a calibrated starting point — the 24-click compression range and 30-click rebound range give ample room to move in either direction as you develop your own set-up notes. Professional installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is recommended to ensure correct oil fill, pre-load setting, and torque procedure.

Fitment & Compatibility

This cartridge kit fits the Honda CBR 600 RR for model years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. It is engineered specifically for the original fork assembly fitted to those model years. Springs are not included and must be ordered separately — K-Tech's 36-260 series springs are the correct compatible range.
