SUPERSHORT -20 for KTM 1290 / 1390 Superduke R, EVO: 2020 - 2026

What if your legs aren't quite as long as your KTM's legs are?   Enter, the Supershort -20.   Designed to retain all of the rear suspension characteristics of your OEM KTM Superduke 1290 or 1390 R, or EVO models - while lowering the rear of your bike twenty millimeters (almost an inch!).  

Don't be fooled by the shady suspension links made by folks who have no clue how links work.   You CAN'T change the dimensions of a link in your garage with a hacksaw and cardboard, thinking you'll change the height of a bike alone, without changing anything else.  Soon as you change just one dimension of one of the points on your link's triangle, you change all of the characteristics of all the other dimensions.   

Suspension links are like Pandora's Box.   Soon as you open the box, you better run.   

So after extensive research and testing, we decided the best most reliable way to lower the rear of a Superduke is not by changing the links at all.   Instead we changed the control arm length.   And to avoid contact with the shock when the suspension is fully extended, we had to design a slight offset to it.  All the work is now done, and tested by our good friend Rae, at Laguna Seca this summer.

Rae measures a whopping 5 feet tall and weighs just 95lbs.   I change spring rates for her, adjusted settings, and installed the -20 Super Lowering Kit.  Everything else was up to Rae.  She pushed it through tech, she put it on and off the stands, and she rode around Laguna Seca all day long with zero issues.   I monitored the data acquisition throughout the day and confirmed the suspension was working perfectly at that lower height.  The bike did not bottom out, nor did the bellypan touch pavement anywhere on track.  

100% success.   Sign up for your Supershort -20 now.   Shipping begins December 20, 2024.
