Anybody have adjustable offset triples?

Ductard · Aug 18, 2015

I had GMD measure my bike and he suggested getting some adjustable offset triples. Going from memory, I think he said he wanted to raise the ride height while giving the bike some more trail.

Does anybody have them for race/track? If so, how do you like them - did you see much improvement?

I'm not stoked about how much they cost, but I wanted to see if anybody has had any mind-blowing results by changing up the offset...

14R came with replacement inserts in the parts kit that changes the rake
From 24.5* to 24 the new std for 15R/S models I believe they increased the offset +4mm
Rear swing pivot was changed to -4 position so that's probably the best
Starting point, a few on here bought into the CNC triple group buy and think
several changed the offset with the interchangeable inserts so hopefully
you will get some clarification from some of them

Interesting that they'd want to add trail to a '12 1199, as they are already on the high end of the liter bike spectrum. Ducati claim 100mm; the math actually works out to 103mm with a 600mm front tire, but what the heck. BMW and Honda are in the mid 90's and the new R1 is about the same as the 1199; only the ZX10 is higher. Heck, my 675 was in the mid 80's (which WAS too low imho). The 1199 comes with 30mm offset triples, which was the go-to aftermarket number for the XX98's unless they were running a steeper rake insert.

I had a quick call with the guy, I'm sure he said he wanted to raise the bike up (to get more drive traction), then get the offset triples so that the front wouldn't feel as vague - but the "add trail" part I'm a little fuzzier about.

I'll post the measurements after I pick up the bike, and take notes on what he wants to do.

It sounds like the general consensus is that it's probably OK as is? At my pace I'm thinking my $ would probably be best spent on track time and tires to bring down my times.

I have the CNC upper,triple that uses the inserts. Lmk if you need it.

I'm wanting to do the R rake angle kit to my bike too
