AltRider Variable Height Suspension Lowering Linkage for KTM / Husqvarna / GASGAS Dirt Bikes

Reaching the ground confidently on a dirt bike changes everything — especially on uneven terrain or during technical slow-speed sections. This linkage replaces your stock rear suspension linkage and lets you dial in one of four seat height reductions, so you can find the setting that matches your inseam and your skill level.

Adjustments are made by rotating two inserts, each with the height setting laser-etched directly on it. No guesswork. Each insert has two positions, giving you four total ride heights to choose from. When your skills improve, raise the setting — no new parts required.

The integrated 6mm HDPE linkage guard protects the lower shock mount from rocks and impacts. It absorbs hits instead of transferring them, and unlike aluminum guards, it will not snag on obstacles. It removes with three flush-mounted fasteners if needed.

Lowering the rear changes your bike's geometry. Adjust your fork height to match your preferred setup. Final seat height change will vary depending on shock preload, sag, tire size, and tire pressure — the figures given are a guide, not a guarantee.

For a complete setup, pair this linkage with the AltRider Adjustable Aluminum Side Stand for KTM Dirt Bikes to ensure your stand length matches your new ride height.

Tall seat height is one of the biggest barriers to confidence on a dirt bike, especially on uneven terrain where you can't always get a solid foot down. This linkage lets you lower the rear suspension to one of four preset heights — without permanent changes to the bike.

Adjustments use two laser-etched inserts that rotate to set your height. The settings are marked directly on the insert, so there's no guesswork. Once you're comfortable at a lower height and your skills develop, you can raise it back up with the same hardware.

For riders pairing this with the AltRider Adjustable Aluminum Side Stand, the combination gives you a complete height-matched setup that stays reliable at any ride height.

Note: Lowering the rear changes your bike's geometry and handling. Adjust your fork height accordingly to match stock geometry or your preferred setup. Final seat height change will vary depending on rear shock preload, static sag, tire size, type, and pressure. The heights listed are a guide.
