DescriptionThe whole story▼
The K-Tech DDS Pro is the shock absorber of choice for riders who refuse to compromise on build quality. Engineered and manufactured in Great Britain from the finest available materials, with every critical component CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, this unit brings the same race-proven suspension technology found at the British Superbike Championship and the Isle of Man TT directly to your Aprilia RS 660.
Key Features
- Five-way adjustability — compression, rebound, ByPass Valve (BPV), hydraulic spring preload, and length — for total control over chassis behaviour
- 32-click compression damping adjustment and 32-click rebound damping adjustment deliver genuinely precise, repeatable setup changes
- 16-click BPV (ByPass Valve) setting enables fine-grained tuning of low-shaft-speed damping characteristics independently of the main compression circuit
- Hydraulic spring preload adjustment allows rapid setup changes trackside without specialist tools
- Length adjustment lets you optimise chassis geometry for circuit or road use
- CNC-machined aluminium components throughout, developed using advanced design software for maximum rigidity and long-term durability
- DDS technology with integrated potentiometer mounting points for data acquisition compatibility
- Wide range of available spring rates to suit every rider weight and riding style
Race-Proven Construction
K-Tech designed the DDS Pro from the ground up for professional competition, and every material and manufacturing decision reflects that brief. The 35 mm RCU body is precision-machined, the 12 mm RCU shaft is hard-chromed for wear resistance, and the eye-type upper and lower mounts are machined to tight tolerances — upper and lower eye widths both measure 23 mm with 10 mm bolt diameters. The result is a unit that is stiffer, lighter in unsprung mass effect, and more consistent lap after lap than any OEM replacement can deliver.
DDS Technology Explained
The Dual Damping System separates low-speed and high-speed compression circuits, allowing the ByPass Valve to govern ride comfort and traction sensitivity under normal cornering loads while the main compression circuit handles the large, abrupt inputs of kerb strikes and hard braking events. This separation means you can run enough high-speed compression to control chassis squat without sacrificing the suppleness needed to keep the rear tyre loaded through slow-speed direction changes — a balance that is particularly valuable on the RS 660's tight, flickable chassis.
Recommended Setup — Aprilia RS 660
K-Tech's recommended baseline settings for the RS 660 (2020–2026) are: compression 12 clicks, rebound 12 clicks, BPV 8 clicks, and spring preload 5 mm. These are a starting point; the 55-155 spring series and the full adjustment range give you the latitude to depart significantly from baseline as you learn the track or dial in for specific road conditions.
Installation Note
For maximum performance and safety, K-Tech recommends installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre. Correct fitting requires specialist tools and techniques.
