Through-Rod technology at the heart of the system delivers the granular damping control that separates consistent podium challengers from the rest of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough-Rod Damping System (TRDS-R) provides race-accurate compression and rebound adjustment in 16-click increments, giving riders and technicians exacting control over fork behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 'R' for Regulation means every setting change is repeatable and fully documented — ideal for refining setup across sessions without factory-level budget support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight closed-cartridge construction improves heat dissipation significantly over conventional damping units, maintaining consistent performance throughout sustained racing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 mm of preload adjustment allows swift spring-rate fine-tuning to suit rider weight, track surface and tyre compound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130 mm stroke engineered specifically for the ZX-6R chassis geometry, preserving original handling balance while raising its ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied complete with a matched spring set, ready for fitment by a K-Tech Service Centre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace-proven at championship level — British Superbike and Isle of Man TT — providing confidence that the engineering holds under maximum stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThrough-Rod Technology Explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike a conventional cartridge where the damping rod passes through one end only, K-Tech's Through-Rod design runs the rod through the full length of the cartridge. This eliminates the dead zone of oil cavitation common under hard braking and aggressive kerb strikes, giving a more linear and predictable damping curve from the first millimetre of travel to the last. The closed-cartridge architecture further isolates the damping fluid from air ingestion, so the fork responds identically on lap one and lap twenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack Performance \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TRDS-R was developed alongside professional race teams to give privateer and semi-professional competitors the same level of adjustability previously reserved for factory-supported efforts. With 16 compression clicks and 16 rebound clicks available as a starting point, a technician can map the fork's entire characteristic in a single day of testing and then dial in repeatable, session-by-session changes with confidence. The preload collar's 18 mm range accommodates a wide spread of rider weights and spring rates without requiring a full rebuild between events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the following model:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKawasaki ZX-6R — model years 2009 to 2019 (inclusive)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is strongly recommended to ensure correct fluid fill, preload setting and damping calibration before the kit is put into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK-Tech\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160-011-150-010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRDS-R Closed Cartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 clicks (recommended baseline)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRebound Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 clicks (recommended baseline)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreload Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 mm range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKawasaki ZX-6R 2009–2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCartridge kit with one set of springs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168834871562,"sku":"160-011-150-010","price":2971.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/TRDS-R_13d4c913-a6e7-43e1-9c69-d7bb280fd2ed.png?v=1780817046","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-trds-r-closed-cartridge-kit-kawasaki-zx","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
