WP Suspension recently released all the details around the latest version of the Apex Pro fork. It incorporates the same closed cartridge technology used in the WP Factory Racing paddock. Designed to withstand performance at the limit, this cartridge provides improved response to the rider, allowing them to brake later, maintain higher cornering speed and have greater confidence when riding at the limit.
WP Apex Pro in detail
Handcrafted in Austria, WP Pro components are based on the experience and feedback of elite riders and official racing teams. Each component is meticulously designed and tested to deliver uncompromising track performance, bringing race-proven technology to high-performance production applications.
A major innovation in the latest Apex Pro cartridge is the introduction of the Tecterra coating on the inner tube. This ultra-hard surface treatment offers approximately twice the hardness of conventional chrome coatings, dramatically improving resistance to wear from dust, sand and debris.
The result is longer maintenance intervals and precise, consistent damping performance, even under prolonged, intense track use. Complementing the fork, the Apex Pro shock provides superior grip, acceleration and rear stability.
Designed to offer greater reserve and safety during late braking, while providing a greater sense of control that allows riders to find the limit even faster. The WP Apex Pro shock continues the racing-derived approach, developed directly from WP Factory Racing DNA and designed with the same technologies champion teams rely on.
High-quality, precision-machined components ensure durability and accuracy, while integrated mounting points for a potentiometer allow the use of telemetry and advanced suspension tuning. Fully homologated it comes as standard on the new KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track 2026.
The WP Apex Pro system offers extensive adjustability, including high and low speed compression damping, rebound adjustment, hydraulic spring preload and length adjustment to suit different riding styles. In addition, it is offered as optional equipment for the “R” and “RR” versions of the model.
In short, as the brand itself states: “The Apex Pro package not only makes the KTM 1390 Super Duke R range the ultimate track and road machine, but also positions WP Pro Components as the leader in production and aftermarket suspensions, starting from the top spot.” More information and details on its official website.
