DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered exclusively for the Öhlins-suspended R variants of the Ducati Panigale V4, the K-Tech DSS-017 dust seal kit draws on decades of NOK seal-making heritage to deliver precision-fit fork protection that the world's leading Japanese suspension manufacturers trust by default. Where lesser seals allow grit to migrate into the stanchion, these NOK-sourced dust seals form a disciplined barrier that keeps contamination out and fork oil in — preserving both the feel and the longevity of your front-end setup.
Key Features
- NOK-manufactured dust seals, the benchmark choice for OEM and aftermarket suspension builders worldwide
- Precision dimensions — 43.00 mm inner diameter, 55.50 mm outer diameter — ensure a factory-quality fit on Panigale V4 R forks
- Two-height profile (4.70 mm and 14.00 mm) engineered to seat correctly within the fork leg, preventing ingress of dust, moisture and road debris
- Designed for long-term service life without compromising fork action or damping response
- Supplied as a complete two-piece kit, covering both fork legs in a single purchase
- Exclusive fitment for the R models (2019–2021) ensures the same uncompromising specification as the rest of the V4 R chassis
Heritage and Precision Engineering
NOK has supplied sealing solutions to the global suspension industry for generations, and it is that proven pedigree that K-Tech has chosen for the DSS-017. The company's seal compounds are formulated to resist the wide temperature swings and chemical exposure inherent in track and road use, while maintaining the dimensional stability that allows smooth stanchion travel. The result is a dust seal that feels as natural as the original fitment and outlasts generic replacements by a considerable margin.
Road and Track Suitability
Whether the Panigale V4 R is used for weekend touring or circuit work, fork cleanliness is fundamental to consistent damping. A compromised dust seal allows abrasive particles to score the stanchion surface, accelerating oil-seal wear and eventually degrading the rider's feedback. Replacing worn seals with the DSS-017 kit at routine service intervals is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain the precision the V4 R was designed to deliver.
Fitment and Compatibility
This kit is designed specifically for the R models of the Ducati Panigale V4 and is not interchangeable with the standard V4, V4 S or V4 SP variants. Always verify the R designation before fitting.
