The Race Tech Bladder Cap Kit, model SWBL 6001, is designed for compatible KTM suspension applications. Manufactured by Race Tech and supplied under vendor part number SWBL 6001, this kit replaces the mechanical piston in the shock reservoir with a nitrogen-filled bladder. The conversion helps simplify the reservoir design while supporting consistent suspension performance during demanding riding.
By using a bladder in place of the mechanical piston, the Race Tech SWBL 6001 reduces the number of moving parts and minimizes friction within the reservoir. This design can improve high-speed square-bump performance and help reduce performance fade caused by overheating. The kit is intended for riders and suspension technicians seeking more consistent shock operation under repeated or aggressive use.
Fitment: Designed for compatible KTM shock and suspension applications; verify year, model, and reservoir configuration before installation. The kit uses a standard Schrader nitrogen valve, making nitrogen charging and routine maintenance more straightforward for properly equipped suspension service professionals. Installation and nitrogen servicing should be completed according to Race Tech procedures by a qualified technician.
