The Race Tech Bladder Cap Kit, manufacturer part number SWBL 01 and vendor part number SWBL01, is designed for KTM models equipped with a WP shock. This kit replaces the mechanical piston with a nitrogen-filled bladder, providing a streamlined alternative for shock service and performance tuning. It is intended for off-road and performance applications where consistent shock operation and easier maintenance are important.
By reducing the number of moving parts, the Race Tech SWBL 01 helps minimize friction within the shock assembly and improves high-speed performance over square-edged bumps. The nitrogen-filled bladder also helps reduce performance fade associated with overheating, supporting more consistent damping during demanding riding conditions. This kit is a practical upgrade for riders and technicians seeking improved shock behavior without unnecessary mechanical complexity.
Maintenance is simplified through the use of a standard Schrader nitrogen valve, making nitrogen service more familiar and accessible for qualified suspension technicians. Verify compatibility with the specific KTM WP shock model before installation and follow the applicable service procedures for proper assembly, nitrogen charging, and setup. The Race Tech Bladder Cap Kit is supplied as a shock-specific component for KTM WP applications and is not a universal fitment item.
