Motorcycle Fork Cartridge Rod & Piston Assembly

Teknik Cartridge Rod Complete

Cartridge Rod Complete

Motorbike front forks are more than the outer tubes; a separate internal cartridge does the real work. Sliding in the middle of that cartridge, with a rebound adjuster assembly on the bottom and damping piston parts up top, is the fork cartridge rod. Read about closed vs open chamber designs in our closed vs open chamber guide. We stock genuine KYB & Showa OEM shaft assemblies sold complete, plus bare fork cartridge rods, rebound piston holder towers and individual damping piston parts for rebuilders.

  • Direct-replacement OEM KYB & Showa cartridge rod complete assemblies
  • Partial rebuilds using bare rods, rebound towers and damping piston parts

Recommended Pairings
