Adjustable Main Linkage Arm – Ducati Desmo 450

Adjustable Main Linkage Arm

Ducati Desmo 450

Adjustable main linkage arm designed for the Ducati Desmo 450, developed for precise and repeatable ride-height adjustment while maintaining correct geometry and proper rear suspension function.

The linkage arm allows ride-height changes using three eccentric inserts, which can (depending on the combination) be installed in two different orientations – dots together / dots apart. This provides up to 6 different ride-height settings, including the option to raise the motorcycle by +5 mm using the insert with 1 dot.

(measured distance between the swingarm and the rear fender)

Adjustment principle

• 3 eccentric inserts marked with dots

• inserts can be rotated to change geometry

• option to raise the bike by +5 mm (1-dot insert)

• quick ride-height adjustment without modifying the shock

• simple and clear setup

Important notice

⚠️ Insert with 1 dot

• can be used in one position only

• the second position is not possible without modifying the linkage triangle

Greater lowering range

For a larger lowering range, we recommend the complete linkage system, which includes:

• main linkage arm (link)

• linkage triangle

Only the complete system allows a greater geometry change while maintaining correct rear suspension kinematics.

Key benefits

• ability to lower or raise the motorcycle

• precise geometry adjustment

• multiple setup options without modifying the shock

• fast adaptation to different conditions

• clean and fully reversible solution
