The EPICA WP XACT Spring Conversion Kit is a premium closed-cartridge suspension upgrade designed for WP XACT forks found on KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas motocross and off-road models. Additionally, the system replaces the OEM air fork configuration with a high-performance spring-based cartridge design that improves front-end feel, damping consistency, rider comfort, and overall chassis stability across a wide range of riding conditions.
Designed for riders seeking a more connected and predictable front-end feel, the EPICA system improves comfort through braking bumps, acceleration chop, and rough terrain while maintaining support during aggressive braking, jump landings, and repeated hard impacts. As a result, riders gain improved confidence, traction, and overall front-end control at speed.
Technology Overview
The EPICA WP XACT Spring Conversion system uses a high-performance closed-cartridge damping design engineered to improve oil control, damping consistency, and tuning precision compared to OEM air fork systems.
Additionally, the system increases mid-stroke support and bottoming resistance while maintaining comfort and front-end feel across changing terrain conditions. Meanwhile, the refined damping characteristics help riders maintain better chassis control throughout aggressive riding conditions.
Key Features
- Closed-cartridge spring conversion system
- Improved damping consistency
- Enhanced mid-stroke support
- Increased bottoming resistance
- Precise damping adjustment capability
- Improved bike stability under braking
- Expanded tuning range for riders and tuners

– Reversible High Speed compression piston outer diameter = 38 mm.
– Side A (Flat valve surface) 34mm OD shims for motocross and enduro.
– Side B (Convex valve surface) 32mm OD shims for supercross.
Option to configure Low Speed Valve (LSV) on compression base valve.
Cartridge rod diameter = 14 mm (for an increased oil flow).
Rebound piston diameter = 25mm for better hydraulic control.
Compression high/low speed shims ID 12 mm.
Maximum travel = 310 mm.
Maximum shim diameter for Mid-Valve By-pass = 21 mm.
Ability to set Mid-Valve float clearance with the stack shims.
Mid-Valve/By-pass floating shim ID = 6 mm (for a controlled response on braking bumps).
Rebound shims ID = 6 mm (uses triangular mid-valve shims designed to reduce oil turbulence on compression).
