KYB Factory Kit Spring Fork KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas Enduro 2015–2022 (162019000701)
The KYB Factory Kit Spring Fork with air–oil separated closed cartridge (AOS) is a premium coil-spring front fork assembly engineered for competition-level enduro and off-road use on selected KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas models from 2015–-diameter 48 mm tubes, factory-style coatings and race-developed internals provide precise damping control, improved traction and consistent performance over long, demanding special tests.
Key features and benefits
- Air–oil separated (AOS) closed-cartridge design for highly consistent damping and stable performance during long enduro stages.
- Coil-spring construction delivers a predictable, planted front-end feel that many riders prefer over air forks in technical terrain.
- 48 mm DLC-coated inner tubes and Kashima-coated outer tubes minimise friction, improve small-bump sensitivity and increase durability.
- Dark-grey anodised AOS fork caps and CNC-machined, anodised axle brackets provide race-level strength with a premium factory appearance.
- Updated free-piston design and custom aluminium spring collar support the end of the stroke for smoother bottoming resistance and softer landings.
- Wide damping adjustment range with an additional mid-speed valve to fine-tune mid-stroke support without sacrificing comfort or high-speed control.
- Race-focused internal components and valving developed for modern KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas chassis to enhance steering precision, grip and feedback on rough enduro tests.

- Workshop and tuner projects where a robust, fully serviceable factory-level fork is required.
Fitment and chassis interface
The KYB Factory Kit Spring Fork is designed specifically for KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas frames and requires dedicated KYB/X-trig triple clamps and PHDS (or fixed) bar mounts, as the outer tube diameter and clamping area differ from OEM WP ensures correct alignment, clamping force and steering geometry on compatible bikes.
