PRODUCT NEWS Wave disc for Ninja 300 OWNERS of Kawasaki’s Ninja 300 now have the option to change out the stock front brake discs following the launch by Braking of a Wave disc to fit the bike. The replacement disc is a fixed 5mm thick, 290mm diameter design with the outer and inner diameter of the disc having a non-round design, said to enable better radial expansion of the rotor under extreme heat conditions. Traditional holes are replaced by edges specifically designed to increase brake pad regeneration process. It is made from Aisi420. BRAKING-SUNSTAR Briosco (MI), ITALY Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.braking.com TTX22 cartridge kit ÖHLINS has created a universal fork cartridge kit that brings TTX technology to MX bikes. The new MX fork cartridge kit is based on TTX technology, which the company says means a positive pressure balance in the system, thanks to the twin tube technology. The gas pressurised dividing piston inside pushes the hydraulic fluid back into the low pressure side with the end result of better performance and no cavitation. The 8mm steel hollow piston rod makes the kit lighter, and the main piston diameter is 22mm. All other parts are in aluminium and the only inconsistency will be the length of the kit depending on the model of the bike. The cartridge has external adjustment for both compression and rebound and the springs are ordered separately to suit rider’s choice of spring. Installation is simply a case of removing the standard fork insert and replacing it with the Öhlins cartridge. ÖHLINS RACING Upplands Vaesby, SWEDEN Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.ohlins.com
