Refined in design, precise in execution, and built to deliver repeatable damping performance lap after lap, the TRDS-R represents K-Tech's heritage of elite-level suspension development made accessible to privateers and funded teams alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough-Rod damping system provides exceptional precision, allowing riders and technicians to monitor and adjust fork behaviour with surgical accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 'R' designation stands for Regulation — engineered for teams operating within current cost-cap rules or limited sponsorship budgets without sacrificing race-winning capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, compact closed cartridge design improves heat dissipation for consistent damping performance throughout extended race stints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-click compression and 16-click rebound adjustment (recommended baseline settings) offer a wide tuning envelope to suit circuit conditions and rider preference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 mm preload adjustment range enables spring platform fine-tuning without removing the forks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace-proven at the highest levels of British Superbike competition and the Isle of Man TT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign, Finish and Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech Suspension has built its reputation across decades of top-flight motorsport, supplying works teams and record-breaking TT runners with damping solutions that routinely outperform equipment costing several times the price. The TRDS-R Closed Cartridge Kit carries that lineage into a package distinguished by its clean, purposeful engineering aesthetic — a compact cartridge body machined to close tolerances, finished to the standard you would expect from a supplier that operates at BSB factory level. Every component reflects the considered design philosophy that has made K-Tech a trusted name on the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance on Track\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Through-Rod architecture at the heart of the TRDS-R eliminates the cavitation and inconsistency associated with conventional open-cartridge designs. Oil movement is fully controlled at all piston speeds, which translates into a fork that behaves identically on the opening lap as it does on the final corner of a 20-lap race. The 675 mm overall length and 130 mm of stroke are matched specifically to the GSX-R 1000 chassis geometry, preserving factory ride height relationships while unlocking a level of damping resolution that the stock internals cannot approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed and validated for the following model:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuzuki GSX-R 1000 — model years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is recommended to ensure correct setup and to validate the manufacturer's support.\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\u003eOverall length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e675 mm\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)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRebound adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 clicks (recommended)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreload adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThrough-Rod damping system (TRDS-R)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntended use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRacing — British Superbike, Isle of Man TT and circuit competition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160-017-230-020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168842637578,"sku":"160-017-230-020","price":2971.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/TRDS-R_a3019d5b-a9c6-4647-983e-3bab8563e7db.png?v=1780817216","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-trds-r-closed-cartridge-kit-suzuki-gsx","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
