AltRider Variable Height Suspension Lowering Linkage with 17 mm Pivot Bolt/Nut

Some new bikes have been shipping with 15 mm pivot bolts. Please measure your pivot bolt to confirm the size, see photos for details.

With AltRider’s Variable Height Suspension Lowering Linkage customize your suspension to lower your seat height four different heights. Lower your seat approximately 4.5mm (0.2 in), 16mm (0.6 in), 27mm (1 in), or 38mm (1.5 in) lower than factory height.

Lower your suspension to make your dirt bike easier and more comfortable to put both feet down during stops on uneven terrain. If you have a shorter inseam, increase your comfort and confidence knowing you will be able to plant both feet on the ground. Our variable height lowering linkage is an excellent way to improve your skill level, set your height to where you’re comfortable and raise the height as your skill level improves!

  • Four adjustable heights with provided inserts lower your seat approximately 4.5mm (0.2 in), 16mm (0.6 in), or 27mm (1 in)
  • Built in HDPE plastic linkage guard to prevent damage
  • Precision CNC machined aircraft grade billet aluminum with anodized finish
  • OEM grade needle bearings
  • Weighs just 420 grams

Robust 6mm thick HDPE integrated linkage guard to protect the lower shock mount (removable with 3x M6 flush mounted fasteners). The only offering with a built-in plastic guard, doesn’t transfer impact like other rigid guards and won’t snag like aluminum can.

Adjustments are made with two different inserts that have the seat height setting laser etched on them. Each insert can be rotated two different ways for a total four different ride heights.

OEM grade needle bearings with independent shaft seals for easy maintenance. High quality bearings are used with combined dynamic load rating of more than 6,000 lbs.

For the ultimate pull rod package, pair the Variable Height Suspension Lowering with the innovative AltRider Adjustable Aluminum Side Stand for KTM Dirt Bikes and always have a reliable and sturdy kick stand, no matter how your suspension height is set.

Note: Lowering the rear of your bike will change the geometry and handling of the bike. Please make necessary adjustments to your fork height in order to match the stock geometry or your riding preference.
