Built around K-Tech's 25 mm Independent Damping System, this cartridge kit delivers the kind of separation between compression and rebound control that serious circuit work demands — without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) — compression and rebound circuits are fully independent for exacting suspension calibration on track or road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 clicks of independent compression adjustment and 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment give a wide, finely graduated tuning range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased stroke versus the OEM cartridge delivers improved damping performance across a broader range of conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerospace-grade aluminium construction with hard-anodised and super-finished components for long-term durability and consistent damping action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring preload is fully adjustable, allowing ride height and balance to be dialled in to suit rider weight, tyre choice and circuit layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the full 36-260 series K-Tech spring range, so you can select the exact spring rate for your application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack-Focused Engineering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 25IDS architecture is the foundation of K-Tech's open-cartridge range. By separating the compression and rebound damping valves into genuinely independent circuits, the system eliminates the cross-sensitivity that limits conventional cartridge designs. On a demanding circuit, this means you can chase corner-entry stability and mid-corner composure without sacrificing the suppleness needed for kerb strikes and surface imperfections. The hard-anodised and super-finished bore and rod surfaces minimise friction throughout the stroke, keeping the fork sensitive and consistent lap after lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component is machined from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy — lightweight, stiff, and highly resistant to corrosion. The hard-anodised finish on critical surfaces adds a layer of wear resistance that keeps the damping characteristics stable over the long term. The super-finished rod surface reduces stiction to a minimum, translating directly into improved small-bump compliance and more communicative feedback through the bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech's suggested baseline settings — 12 clicks compression, 18 clicks rebound, 8 mm preload — give a proven starting point from which to develop a circuit-specific setup. Springs are not included and must be ordered separately from the K-Tech 36-260 series range; selecting the correct spring rate for your weight and riding style is essential to realise the full potential of the cartridge. Installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is recommended to ensure correct fitment and initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge kit is a direct fitment for the Kawasaki ZX-6R 636 across all model years from 2013 to 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter: 25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter: 14 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 707 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStroke: 125 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression clicks: 24 (suggested baseline: 12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebound clicks: 30 (suggested baseline: 18)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested preload: 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible spring series: 36-260\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 130-013-150-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168835625226,"sku":"130-013-150-010","price":1180.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/25IDS_Hubpng_68a1947e-1453-4032-8e42-b11268a6d924.png?v=1780817075","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-25ids-open-cartridge-kit-kawasaki-zx","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
