Description
Stock shift levers on the KTM Models are made to a budget, not to survive a season of racing, and that shows the first time the bike goes down on that side. ProTaper’s aluminum shifter is the upgrade riders make once and stop thinking about. It is the kind of upgrade that does not show up on a spec sheet but matters every single time you shift gears under load, on a jump face, or coming off a berm.
Feature and Benefit Highlights
- Forged from 6061 aluminum for a lever that resists bending under crash loads and repeated impacts
- Folding shift tip pivots out of the way on impact instead of snapping off at the base
- Knurled grip surface on the tip keeps your boot from slipping off during muddy or wet conditions
- Precise O.E.M. fitment for the KTM Models, matching the stock shift shaft spline and mounting geometry
- Finished to resist corrosion so the lever holds up through wash-downs and wet-weather rides
Built to bolt directly onto the KTM Models without modification, this shifter drops into the stock shift shaft position and is ready to ride right out of the box. It suits everything from casual trail days to full-on race weekends, and it is cheap insurance against being stuck in one gear on the trail. It is a small enough purchase that most riders just add one to a parts order rather than waiting until the stock lever actually fails on them.
