ENZO Technica Front Fork WP/KYB Conversion | Track Tested

Price: $1595, ($1975 as tested with machined, anodized base valve caps and spring tubes)

In the era of air forks, the KTM and Husqvarna WP AER48 reigned supreme over the KYB and Showa options that came outfitted on Hondas, Suzukis, and Kawasakis. Now that all of the Japanese manufacturers have returned to conventional mechanical spring forks, though, the WP Xact48 air fork is now our least favorite due to its comparative lack of initial comfort and the hassles associated with checking and setting air pressures every ride. 

enzo racing is known best for its work with Kayaba components, but it has developed a special Enzo Technica KYB Conversion kit for WP AER and Xact48 air forks. The kit converts WP front inner and outer tubes to accept KYB AOS internal damping system. KYB AOS cartridge, rebound rod, compression base valve with standard caps, bottoming cones, springs and standard spring perches fit into the standard WP inner and outer tubes with the installation of the specially machined conversion axle lugs. The damping and spring rate are set up for the individual customer’s requirements.
We had enzo convert the fork on our 2020 Husqvarna FC 350 test bike and have been thrilled with the results.
