Bespoke suspension suits you sir.

24 Jun 2019

Let's face it, if your not one of the lucky 5% of people that the standard Duke 690 suspension is set up for, and with very little adjustment available on KTM's bargain basement OEM shock, your either going to sell your bike on rather rapidly (thanks mate for my super cheap 2017 1000 mile used 690, whoever you were), or you're going to do something about putting it right. These Nitron shocks are a fantastic step in sorting out the handling. The quality of engineering is fantastic (even down to the preload adjusting tool), and puts the OEM item to shame. Once you've dialled some sag into it, final set up is a breeze for road use with the all in one rebound/compression adjuster and you can quickly find the upper and lower limits you don't want to go beyond. There does appear to be only one but rather significant negative - Fitting this might highlight any deficiencies in your front forks, which means you'll be back for more suspension upgrades. Oh, and if anyone tells you that the turquoise spring doesn't go with KTM orange, tell them they must be colour blind. It looks great!
