Designed specifically for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2017–2023), this shock absorber transforms chassis feel at a price that rewards everyday riders as much as the weekend track-day enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-way adjustability gives you meaningful control over compression, rebound, preload and ride height without complexity or cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 clicks of compression adjustment and 32 clicks of rebound damping allow precise, repeatable tuning for any road surface or circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual spring preload adjustment accommodates a wide range of rider weights and load conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRide-height (length) adjustment lets you fine-tune chassis geometry for sharper steering or improved stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined components share the same quality standards as the full DDS Pro unit, ensuring long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotentiometer mounting points built into the DDS architecture allow future data-logging if you choose to upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgradeable from Lite to Pro specification — add hydraulic preload adjustment and the bypass valve when your riding demands it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the full 55-155 spring range for a broad selection of spring rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEveryday Usability and Long-Term Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the DDS Pro adds hydraulic spring preload and a dedicated bypass valve, the DDS Lite strips those features back to keep the price approachable while retaining everything that makes the K-Tech platform exceptional. The result is a shock absorber that is genuinely easy to live with: the manual preload collar adjusts with a C-spanner in the garage, recommended damping settings are clearly documented (12 clicks compression, 18 clicks rebound, 13 mm preload), and the 35 mm body with 12 mm shaft is engineered to the same tolerances as the top-tier unit. For GSX-R 1000 owners who cover a mix of commutes, weekend blasts and occasional track days, the DDS Lite delivers a transformative improvement over the OEM unit without unnecessary complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild Quality and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech manufactures the DDS Lite with the same CNC-machined aluminium components found throughout their professional suspension catalogue. The DDS (Dual Damping System) platform is designed around clarity of adjustment and long service life. Every click of the compression or rebound adjuster is precise and tactile, so you always know your current setting. The upper and lower eye mounts are machined to tight tolerances — 30 mm wide with a 10 mm bolt at the top, 36 mm wide with a 10 mm bolt at the bottom — ensuring a clean, rattle-free installation on the GSX-R 1000's standard mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shock absorber is designed and validated to fit the following model:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuzuki GSX-R 1000 — model years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires specialist tools and knowledge of suspension setup.
