Precision-engineered to restore and surpass the original fork performance of the Ducati Panigale V4 S, the K-Tech GBS-018 slide bush kit carries the hallmark of a specialist suspension manufacturer whose roots run deep in British and international racing. Machined to exact OEM dimensions from hardened steel with a copper coating and PTFE-treated contact faces, these bushes represent a considered upgrade over standard replacements — combining corrosion resistance, low friction and long service life in a single, ready-to-fit pair.

Key Features

  • Hardened steel construction with copper coating delivers superior corrosion resistance and structural rigidity under sustained load
  • PTFE-coated contact faces reduce sliding friction, sharpening fork response and improving overall suspension dynamics
  • Manufactured to exact OEM specifications — inner diameter 43.00 mm, outer diameter 46.00 mm — ensuring a direct, hassle-free replacement
  • Supplied as a matched pair so both fork legs are serviced simultaneously, maintaining perfect balance across the front end
  • Designed exclusively for the S-model variants of the Ducati Panigale V4 S, covering the full 2018–2024 production run

Design, Finish and Heritage

K-Tech Suspension has spent decades developing components for professional race teams and demanding road riders alike. The GBS-018 reflects that heritage: every dimension is held to tight tolerances that honour the original Ducati engineering while the copper and PTFE surface treatments elevate durability and feel beyond what a bare steel bush can offer. The result is a component that looks purposeful, fits perfectly and performs with the quiet confidence you would expect from a specialist brand.

Performance on Road and Track

Worn or degraded fork bushes introduce play into the fork legs, eroding the steering precision and feedback that make the Panigale V4 S such a rewarding machine. Replacing them with the GBS-018 restores the tight tolerances the Ohlins fork was designed around, bringing back the direct, communicative feel at the front end. Whether you are working through a technical circuit sector or threading a demanding mountain road, the reduction in friction afforded by the PTFE coating keeps fork action smooth and consistent throughout the travel range.

Fitment and Compatibility

This kit fits exclusively the S-model of the Ducati Panigale V4 S (2018–2024). It is not compatible with the standard Panigale V4 or other V4-family derivatives. If you are unsure which fork specification your machine carries, please confirm with your dealer before ordering.

Installation Note

Installation requires specialised tools and suspension knowledge. K-Tech recommends that fitting is carried out exclusively by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct assembly and to protect the integrity of the fork.
