Race Tech Spring Fork Conversion System Ride Review

Air forks have their perks but for some riders can be high-maintenance and harder to fine-tune than conventional forks. The Race Tech Spring Conversion System is designed to transform your air forks into an SFF style coil spring fork. These kits are available for all major dirt bike air forks including Showa PSF2, Kayaba TAC, and WP AER and XACT forks. In this video, Wes gives us his real-world review of the Race Tech Spring Conversion System on his 2018 KTM 450 SX-F

My Last KTM was a 2018.5 FE and i tested this conversion and its better than air. But the best Bang for your buck and
advice i, d give anyone is the KYB swap. it literally gives you the best part of the yamaha without the worst parts. Most privateers run this.
Evo suspension of plainview Tx has deals on this swap currently with your tubes KYB internals and technical touch lowers.

Suspension can get pretty convoluted. You did a great job explaining a complex topic. Thumbs up!

I know that I'm way outside of the average rider at 6'2" and 330 lbs but I love my 2018 TX 300's air forks I run 180-185 psi for the track and 173 for offroad with the compression at 18 clicks out I am blown away with how plush they are. rocks, tree roots don't even feel them. I rode Yamaha's forever so I do know what good forks feel like. Different forks for different folks i guess

This is also how I feel about my AER fork.

A plush tank for the air fork from Kreft Moto would have been a great comparison to this kit.

It's amazing how much better this generation of KTM looks with orange plastics and not the white.
Sounds like a good kit and I'll keep it in mind for my new 2019 450F/380SX conversion project. One correction though, adjusting pressure does not change spring rate, it changes preload.

Kreft with Revalve Control, go from the track to hard enduro without having to revalve your bike. They're in Utah, show them some love!!

I just had this done, asked for more stiffer valving and everything....and after really pushing it today in all types of terrain and doing a lot of jumping, man the forks bottom out SUPER EASY on even the smallest of jumps now. When they were air they never did that. Thinking I made a bad move.

[haydenotto]

Did you do a spring conversion and a revalve? If you did, did you revalve the shock at the same time?

I'm from Pakistan I love ktm bike 450cc ❤

Did you stick with the recommended spring rates front and rear on the Race Tech website for the spring conversion?

[jaradgreen]

How does this compare to a kyb internal conversion?

[StepstoPodium]

That moment when you want to say that WP AER forks are kinda shit and that it's a moneymaker for WP, but you can't, so you just say: "Do you see these air forks? Forget about that, get some spring on them"

[illwil]

How does the race tech compare to wp cone valves?
