DescriptionThe whole story▼
The K-Tech DDS Pro is a race-derived rear shock absorber engineered for riders who demand championship-level chassis control from their Honda CBR 1000 RR / SP SC77. Proven in the British Superbike Championship and at the Isle of Man TT, this is a unit with a genuine competition pedigree — brought directly to road and track use on the SC77 platform.
Key Features
- Five-way adjustability for comprehensive, rider-specific chassis tuning
- 32-click compression damping adjustment for precise control over bump absorption
- 32-click rebound damping adjustment for optimal chassis composure on corner exit
- 16-click ByPass Valve (BPV) setting allows fine-tuning of low-shaft-speed damping to improve tyre feedback and maximise traction
- Hydraulic spring preload adjustment for tool-free ride height changes at the circuit
- Length adjustment to optimise chassis geometry for different tracks and riding styles
- CNC-machined components throughout for exceptional rigidity and long service life
- DDS technology with mounting points for potentiometer fitment, enabling data logging
- Wide range of spring rates available for tailored setup across rider weights and tracks
DDS Technology and the ByPass Valve
The DDS (Dual Damping System) Pro centres on its unique ByPass Valve circuit. Where conventional shocks blend low- and high-speed damping together, the BPV allows these to be set independently. The practical result is richer tyre feel and superior edge-of-contact-patch traction — the kind of feedback that separates a competent chassis from a genuinely fast one. At 16 clicks of BPV adjustment, the tuning range is broad enough to accommodate everything from fast chicanes to slower, more technical sections.
Build Quality and Construction
Every structural component is CNC-machined rather than cast, keeping tolerances tight and stiffness high under the cyclic loads generated during hard braking and cornering. The 35 mm RCU body houses a 12 mm shaft, and both the upper and lower mounting eyes are precision-bored — upper eye 26 mm wide on a 10 mm bolt, lower eye 39 mm wide on a 10 mm bolt. These are the dimensions Honda specified for the SC77 frame, so fitment is direct and without compromise.
Recommended Settings for the Honda CBR 1000 RR SC77
K-Tech supply baseline setup data with the unit as a starting point for circuit work. Recommended settings from the factory are: compression 8 clicks from full stiff, rebound 10 clicks from full stiff, spring preload 12 mm, and BPV 8 clicks from full stiff. RCU length adjustment range is 5 mm. These figures reflect K-Tech's own development riding on the SC77 and provide a solid, immediately usable base.
Installation Note
For maximum safety and to ensure the shock performs as designed, K-Tech recommend installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre. Correct fitment requires specialist tools and techniques; improper installation can affect handling and rider safety.
