• Easier Footing: Lowers seat height so shorter riders can put both feet down with confidence during stops on uneven or off-camber ground.
• Flex Guard: A 6 mm thick HDPE integrated linkage guard absorbs impacts rather than transferring them, and will not snag on obstacles the way aluminum guards can.
• Safe Backing Up: The return hook is designed to avoid snagging or breaking when reversing over rocks or roots.
• Long-Lasting Bearings: OEM-grade needle bearings with independent shaft seals handle a combined dynamic load rating of over 6,000 lbs and make maintenance straightforward.
• Quality Build: Machined from billet aluminum for precise fit and durability.

Shorter riders on the KTM 690 Enduro, Husqvarna Norden 701, or GasGas ES 700 often struggle to get both feet down on uneven ground. The AltRider Suspension Lowering Linkage reduces seat height so you can stop with confidence on loose or broken terrain.

The HDPE linkage guard is what sets this apart from other lowering options. It is 6 mm thick and absorbs rock strikes instead of transferring impact through the linkage. It will not snag obstacles when you back up, and it can be removed in minutes if you want to run without it. No aluminum guard offers that combination.

Bikes from 2018 and older drop 1.5 in (3.8 cm). Bikes from 2019 and newer drop 1.25 in (3.2 cm). The final seat height change will vary depending on your rear shock preload, static sag, tire size, and tire pressure. The figures are a guide, not a guarantee.

For the best result, pair this linkage with an adjustable side stand — lowering the rear changes the lean angle of the stock stand.

Install Lowering Link Instructions:

• More Confidence: Lowers seat height by 1.25 in (3.2 cm) on 2019+ bikes, so shorter riders can plant both feet on the ground during stops on uneven terrain.
• Built-In Linkage Guard: A 6 mm thick HDPE guard protects the lower shock mount from rock strikes — removable with three M6 flush-mount fasteners when not needed.
• No Snagging: The integrated return hook and HDPE guard are designed to clear obstacles cleanly when backing up, unlike aluminum guards that can catch and break.
• Impact Absorption: The HDPE guard absorbs rock hits without transferring impact to the linkage, something rigid metal guards cannot do.
• Long-Lasting Bearings: OEM-grade needle bearings with independent shaft seals handle a combined dynamic load rating of over 6,000 lbs and make maintenance straightforward.

Lower Seat Height

Confident Footing

Specifically tailored for late-model chassis to lower your seat height by a precise 1.25 inches. Gain incredible control and comfort when stopping on slick, highly uneven off-road surfaces.

6mm HDPE Guard

Linkage Guard

We made the investment in CNC machining rather than cold forming. We do this to allow a tight profile that won't get hung up on obstacles. The return hook lets the linkage slide forward and back over obstacles instead of catching on them, so you don't get hung up mid-trail.

Bottom Return Hook

Snag Free

Features a meticulously contoured underside with flush-mounted fasteners and an integrated return hook. Seamlessly glide forward or reverse over boulders without catching a sharp edge.

Premium Sealed Needle Bearings

Premium Bearings

Uses top-tier needle bearings built to handle continuous high dynamic loads and hard impacts. Independent shaft seals keep maintenance simple and lock out fine dust.

Precision Machined Billet Build

Billet Strength

Machined entirely from premium aluminum to avoid the structural porosity inherent in cast components. Get consistent rear-wheel tracking and dependable backcountry reliability.

Stability Where It Counts

Safe Stance

Lowering the rear end adds real stability and shifts your handling dynamics. The bike sits more planted, giving you a lower, more confident stance where it counts.
