This is a direct OEM replacement built to a specification that goes beyond standard, using hardened steel construction with a copper underlay and a PTFE-coated contact surface to eliminate the stick-slip behaviour that undermines confidence at the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact surfaces drastically reduce friction for sharper, more consistent fork action under race-day conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel core with copper coating provides superior wear resistance over the standard bushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-manufactured to exact dimensional tolerances — inner diameter 41.70 mm, outer diameter 44.70 mm, height 20.00 mm, wall thickness 1.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM replacement — no modification required, installs in the existing fork lowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes both fork slide bushes for a complete renewal in a single service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance on Track\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech is a name synonymous with serious suspension engineering, trusted by professional teams and privateer racers alike. The SBS-022 kit was developed with the Panigale 959 platform specifically in mind, addressing the wear and friction characteristics identified in sustained track use. The PTFE layer keeps stiction to a minimum across a wide temperature range, so the fork tracks the road or circuit surface accurately whether you are working through the kerbs at a trackday or running full-race pace. The copper interlayer acts as both a bonding surface and an additional wear buffer, extending service intervals considerably compared with uncoated alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery dimension of the SBS-022 bush is held to tight tolerances to ensure there is no unwanted play in the fork assembly. Sloppy bushes introduce vagueness into steering feel and accelerate seal wear — the K-Tech units eliminate both concerns. The result is a fork that moves with the suppleness of a freshly serviced unit well into its service life, maintaining the feedback loop between tyre and rider that the Panigale 959 chassis is designed to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed exclusively for the following model:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale 959 — model years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by an authorised K-Tech service centre to ensure correct function and maximum safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSBS-022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.70 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.70 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened steel with copper coating and PTFE-coated contact surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eContents\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x fork slide bushes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDucati Panigale 959 (2016–2019)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168819962122,"sku":"SBS-022","price":19.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/GBSKIT2_715ccc32-b611-4718-a79d-898e93eaea72.png?v=1780816504","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-fork-slide-bush-kit-ducati-panigale-959-sbs-022","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
