SPRINGING
FORTH
P Suspension is set to launch a
series of new bolt-on upgrade kits
for popular Yamaha and KTM street
machines.
WP Suspension – you know, the guys
owned by KTM who make some of the
best springers in the world – is set to
drop new bolt-on units to popular models
known to be in need of a little tickle in the
suspension department.
The WP APEX PRO is designed to add
plenty of adjustment to further enhance
the abilities of the likes of Yamaha’s
MT-09 and KTM’s 790 Duke with an
open-cartridge system, combined with
high-quality materials which WP says
will ensure optimum performance and
responsiveness. The range is also set
to be expanded in the near future to
accommodate bikes from BMW, Kawasaki
and Husqvarna.
While the KTM 790 Adventure R is still
a number of months away (nearest
estimates have the bike arriving in NZ
Dealers for June) WP already has an
upgraded rear shock available to ensure
the mid-sized KTM Adventure will be able
to go further off the beaten track. The
new XPLOR PRO has built specifically for
the KTM 790 Adventure R, with the shock
absorber being a fully adjustable unit to
match the factory forks of the 790 ADV R.
This should ensure that the new ADV R is
quick and easy to tune to any rider’s needs
while providing improved shock absorption
and handling over the standard item.
