Developed and proven at the highest levels of professional motorsport — including the British Superbike Championship and the Isle of Man TT — the K-Tech DDS Pro is a race-grade rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the Ducati Panigale 1199, 1199 S and 1199 R. Every adjustment range, every component dimension, and every valve characteristic has been validated under the most demanding conditions on earth, giving you the confidence to push harder on both road and circuit.
Key Features
- Five-way adjustability covers compression, rebound, ByPass Valve (BPV), hydraulic spring preload and length — a complete chassis tuning platform in a single unit
- 32-click compression damping adjustment delivers precise control over how the shock responds to bumps and braking loads
- 32-click rebound damping adjustment governs how quickly the shock extends, maximising traction and stability on corner exit
- 16-click BPV (ByPass Valve) setting provides fine-grained tuning of low-shaft-speed damping, directly improving tyre feedback and grip
- Hydraulic spring preload adjustment allows fast, tool-free setup changes between sessions or riding conditions
- Length adjustment optimises chassis geometry for individual rider weight and track characteristics
- CNC-machined components throughout for structural integrity, dimensional accuracy and long service life
- DDS technology incorporates mounting points for a potentiometer, enabling data-acquisition integration
- Wide spring rate range in the 55-155 series accommodates every rider weight and tuning requirement
Race-Validated Performance
The DDS Pro platform earned its reputation by winning races before it reached the road. Teams competing in the British Superbike Championship rely on the same ByPass Valve architecture to manage the aggressive, high-corner-speed demands of UK circuits, while Isle of Man TT competitors have trusted it across the most unpredictable road surface on the calendar. That same technology transfers directly to your Panigale 1199.
Precision Engineering
The 35 mm main body diameter and 12 mm shaft work in combination with the 65 mm stroke to deliver a suspension character that feels progressive and communicative rather than simply stiff. The 310 mm installed length fits the Panigale 1199 mounting geometry exactly, with a SKU tolerance of -6/+6 mm to accommodate minor chassis variations. Factory-recommended starting settings — 12 clicks compression, 14 clicks rebound, 8 BPV clicks and 15 mm preload — give a proven baseline from which any competent suspension technician can dial in a perfect setup.
Installation Note
For optimum safety and to extract maximum performance from the DDS Pro, K-Tech strongly recommend installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre. Correct fitment requires specialist tools and techniques appropriate to high-performance suspension components.
