Shock Absorber Type 642 Competition
The suspension solution from Wilbers Products realizes a better response of the fork. This is achieved by swapping the linear springs for progressive ones. The second spring rate provides a larger reserve.
On the rear axle the spring rate is adjusted by a slightly harder spring, in combination with optimized rebound and compression damping. Our solution offers a larger adjustment range than the original spring strut.
The suspension geometry on the front and rear axle was adjusted via negative spring travel.
The nonplus ultra concerning motorcycle shock absorbers! The upper mount consists of a milled part. It serves as a connection to the compression tank and houses the setup screws for the high- and low-speed areas of compression adjustment. With 22 clicks each they can be optimally tuned to your requirements! At maximum compression speed a pressure relief valve prevents the shock from hydraulic blocking and fends off uncontrolled jolts to the suspension. Rebound can be adjusted from the outside by 22 clicks. The spring basis is steplessly variable.

5 star
Everything I wanted and never knew I needed. Spec’d perfect. Didn’t even have to adjust sag.
100 times better than stock, wife on back says nothing compared to ouch or ugh when we hit a bump
I have spinal stenosis, this was exactly what I was looking for.
huge improvement !
replaced the ktm garbage, which had completely failed and was bouncing and bouncing and bouncing
Excellent service throughout. Thank you!
Fits perfectly
Very high quality
If you have a 40–50 lb rider on a Husqvarna EE 5 (or KTM SX-E 5 / TC 50), swapping out the factory shock spring for this 25 N/mm spring is hands-down the single best suspension upgrade you can make.
The stock rear spring is notoriously oversprung for young kids. Before installing this, our rider was getting bucked over braking bumps, the rear end skittered out in flat turns, and it was physically impossible to dial in correct rider sag—even backed all the way out on the preload collar.
Swapping to the 25 N spring completely transformed the bike's balance:
True Sag Numbers: Finally allowed us to set proper race sag (targeting ~60–65 mm) while still maintaining healthy static free sag.
Chassis Balance: Balances out the front WP air fork so the bike stays level and planted instead of riding stinkbug into turns.
Instant Confidence: The rear wheel actually tracks through acceleration chop and ruts now rather than deflecting. Our rider felt the difference on lap one—much less fatigue and far more control over rough, choppy sections.
Fit and finish (47x130) are spot-on, drop-in replacement with the stock WP shock collars, and the coating holds up to roost and power washing. Don’t waste time fighting the stock spring if your kid is under 55 lbs—this 25 N spring fixes the rear end completely. Highly recommend!
Awesome addition to the 390. The spring had made 2 up riding much more comfortable.
Sterrring damper is amazing! Got rid of all the head shake at high speeds. I only have it 5 clicks in and it's working as it should. The guys at EPM are great. Thanks!
Got shipped out right away
