Looking for a cost-effective way to lower your KTM EXCs, Husqvarna or Gasgas motorcycle? K-Tech Suspension lowering kit is specifically designed to reduce the seat height for motorcycles with WP XPLOR suspension systems.

What is a motorcycle lowering kit? With the K-Tech lowering kit, you'll receive two spacers that fit onto the front fork piston rods, reducing the stroke/length by 30mm, as well as two shorter spring perches that allow you to use the original length fork springs. The shock absorber lowering washer fits between the seal head assembly and the seal head assembly clip and can be fitted without taking the shock absorber apart, shortening the stroke/length of the shock by 10mm. In total, the lowering kit can reduce your bike's seat height by up to 30mm.

How will a lowering kit affect my bike? For one, it will reduce seat height, improving stability and control for shorter riders by lowering the centre of gravity. This can lead to increased confidence and comfort for riders of all skill levels. Plus, with the K-Tech Suspension lowering kit, shorter riders will be able to comfortably reach the floor when stationary.
