At 405 Mods, we’re always striving to push the limits of performance and durability. With the introduction of the plastic spring cup retainer in the 2023+ KTM Group linkage bikes, we identified a potential issue that could impact your bike’s longevity. Over time, the plastic spring cups are prone to degrading, especially when exposed to certain cleaning agents that can cause the material to become brittle.
The constant exposure to dirt, mud, and grime, combined with the torsional stress placed on the cup, can lead to the plastic spring cup grooving and thinning out. In some cases, this can result in the spring cup breaking entirely, which can cause the spring to fall into the linkage. This failure can lead to severe damage, including breaking the linkage or forcing the spring into the shock body, potentially causing costly repairs.
To combat this, we developed our own billet spring cup retainer, designed to withstand these harsh conditions and provide lasting protection for your bike. It’s an affordable solution to prevent the issues associated with the plastic spring cups, ensuring your bike remains in peak condition no matter where you ride.
Invest in this simple upgrade to safeguard your KTM and ride with confidence, knowing your suspension is backed by the quality and durability of 405 Mods engineering.
