  • 2019+ KTM 690 - 1.25" Lower
  • Husqvarna 701 - 1.25" Lower

The links are CNC machined from billet aircraft grade aluminum. You can read install instructions and sag setting recommendations directly from the Kouba website: KOUBA

Disclaimer: Lowering the rear more than the front can change the geometry and could affect the handling. Lessening the rear sag and/or sliding the front fork tubes up will make it turn quicker but be less stable on the straits and visa versa.

Worked like a charm

The OEM 690 is too tall for me. The Kouba lowering link worked perfectly. I’m 5’9” and 31” inseam. Now I’m fully seated and one foot fully flat with just a little scoot to the side. I recommend this 💯 to make this bike perfect for me.

Easy install

It was an easy install. It lowered my 2023 KTM 690 a little more than 1 inch it works fantastic.

Kouba link - Gasgas es700

This has made a tremendous difference, lowered perfectly and forks to suit..
Not overall difficult to install.
Much more confidence inspiring for a shorter person on a taller bike.
Thank you.
