AER Solutions

Fits 2017-2020 Ktm / Husqvarna AER fork.

A complete piston kit to suit all AER48 forks.  This piston allows the compression shims to float (similar to Showa and KYB units) allowing instant plushness and rider feel.  We are using the OEM piston in pro level setups ( MX National Level) that need the superior hold up over very big bumps at speed.  This is not the majority!

From low A right thru to Vet level and juniour racers this kit allows a more forgiving fork that can be tuned from soft offroad right up to senior mx.  

Kit includes:

• Piston and top plate
• Shim stack rebound ( inc optional setting)
• Shim Stack Compression ( inc optional setting)
• Base plate 
• Mid Comp Spring
• Preload washer ( under spring ) 
• Instruction and Setting sheet to adjust base setup 
• Optional setting inc for Light and heavy rebound settings
• Junior , Offroad , Vet MX and pro MX setting supplied.

Our WP Air to spring conversion kit is a complete replacement cartridge assembly for your current WP AER setup.  It is designed to completely remove all the Air system from your current WP AER 48 fork  and replace it with a preload adjustable spring and cartridge setup.  High Quality German Engineered ‘Eibach’ Springs are available to suit varying rider weights.  Please advise upon order which spring you require (see recommendations below) or let us know your weight and speed  and we will recommend the best spring for you.

This kit fit's in minutes.  If you can pull down and service your fork seals on the WP AER 48 fork you can install this kit. Info and instruction included.

Spring Rate Recommendation 

 250F and 2 Strokes 

450F 

General riding & Motocross applications

These recommendations  are a guide only as fork Springs are weight and speed dependent. For example a 72 kg Pro rider falls into the 0.88kg/mm category but may well be better suited to a 0.92kg spring due to the much higher corner entry speed and the ability to hit large bumps at high speeds. Please note this guide is for rider weight ‘without’ gear.

Please note we have had great results using one spring down for Veteran/ C level riders on the 450 machines.  Eg. 90kg rider running a 0.96kg/mm spring for a plusher ride.

For more accurate advice please consult your local suspension tech or send us an email.

 Rider weight Spring Recommendation ( Pro Level riders may consider one rate harder than recommended due to the faster speed and need for 'hold up')
