Our kit is designed to improve responsiveness and ensure consistent performance across diverse riding conditions.

The Desert X uses a KYB 46mm fork leg with a new style of cartridge we have never seen KYB use before - it's a 20mm cartridge with 10mm shaft in a split arrangement - so the rebound & compression adjusters are both at the top of the forks.
We had our head tech test ride the DesertX in stock trim on both tarmac & adventure tracks, with feedback from that test & our suspension dyno testing indicating we wanted more damping than the fork legs could offer with external adjustment.

Our team has dedicated countless hours to developing a comprehensive and cost-effective kit designed specifically to address this. Our aim is simple yet crucial: to significantly enhance the performance and resilience of the front forks, empowering riders to tackle off-road terrain with confidence and ease.
Through meticulous engineering and rigorous road & trail re-testing, we've made internal changes to lift the damping to a level similar to other adventure competitors. See the graph in the photos, blue line is standard, green line is after fitting our kit. More compression & rebound in all the areas you need.
By investing in our kit, riders can unlock the true potential of the Ducati's capabilities, overcoming the soft road bias of the original setup and transforming it into a formidable offroad machine that's ready to conquer any terrain. Say goodbye to compromised ride quality and hello to exhilarating adventures – our solution is here to make your adventure dreams a reality.

This is a comprehensive kit and we provide detailed instructions but this kit should only be installed by a professional suspension tuner, with the necessary tools - see the Resources tab for a PDF of instructions

Remember that we also have a matching rear shock piston tuning kit!
