• Continuously height adjustable within TUV-tested parameters for safe, predictable setup

Real-world benefits you will feel

The easy-to-use rebound wheel allows precise clicks to fine-tune body control and ride quality. Turn up for quicker response, tighter handling and reduced float, or soften for comfort on rough British roads. Crucially, rebound changes do not alter the base compression setting, so balance remains consistent and confidence inspiring.

Running larger wheels and tyres? This kit makes it simple to match damping to your setup for improved stability, traction and turn-in. Expect flatter cornering on B-roads, better composure at motorway speed and a refined ride in daily use.

Manufacturer warranty is 2 years, extendable to 5 years when installed by a KW specialist and registered. Components are designed for all-weather use with corrosion-resistant materials throughout.
