Smooth, precise fork action is the foundation of confident braking and all-day riding comfort, and the K-Tech GBS-038 slide bush kit is engineered to deliver exactly that for the Ducati Panigale 1299 (2015–2018). A direct OEM replacement manufactured to K-Tech's exacting standards, this kit restores and improves upon the factory fork feel from the very first ride.
Key Features
- Hardened steel construction with a copper finish provides outstanding resistance to wear and corrosion, extending service life well beyond standard bushes.
- PTFE-coated contact surfaces dramatically reduce friction on moving fork components, resulting in a noticeably smoother, more responsive fork stroke.
- Direct OEM replacement — engineered to match the Ducati Panigale 1299 factory specification for a precise, rattle-free fit without modification.
- Complete kit includes two slide bushes, covering the full fork replacement in one purchase.
- Precise dimensional tolerances (50.00 mm inner diameter, 55.00 mm outer diameter, 15.00 mm height, 2.50 mm wall thickness) ensure consistent performance and correct seating.
Performance & Build Quality
K-Tech has built its reputation on suspension components that genuine racing engineers and serious road riders trust. The GBS-038 bushes are manufactured from hardened steel — far more durable than the softer alloys used in budget alternatives — then finished with a copper layer that aids initial bedding and long-term corrosion protection. The PTFE coating on the sliding contact faces reduces static and dynamic friction simultaneously, which translates into a fork that responds earlier and more progressively, whether you are scrubbing off speed before a tight corner on the road or managing trail-braking on a circuit.
The result is improved feedback through the bars, reduced stiction on low-speed compressions, and a more consistent damping curve throughout the fork's travel. Over a long day in the saddle, that reduction in harshness adds up to noticeably less fatigue — the Panigale's already capable chassis is freed to work as intended.
Installation Note
These bushes are designed exclusively for the Ducati Panigale 1299 (2015–2018). Correct installation requires specialist fork tools and techniques. K-Tech recommends fitting be carried out by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure proper assembly and maximum safety.
