One complaint I have seen from the lower model st is that they don't go low enough.
|
The XTA is very different from the ST X. As far as I read elsewhere, the X damper (and KW V1) is made by AL-KO. Personally, I wouldn't replace my good stock suspension with either or any other brand in that price range.
The XTAs are made and assembled by KW, as can be seen in the video above.

Dislikes: Start nut for camber adjustment(tool included?). Might not go low enough for those looking for a low drop.
|
You mean the 4 bolts that hold the camber plates? Those a Torx TX40 or 45, you probably have those in your toolbox already. It's exactly the same on KW Clubsport. Besides from the wrench I showed in the video in the first post, there are no tools included. There is no fancy purple knob to set the rebound either, just use a 2 mm hex bit or Allen key - that is what's at the end of the KW purple knob too.

Opinion/not sure if lowering too much may reduce bump travel, but helper springs allows it to have plenty of droop travel. Maybe someone can confirm if my theory is correct.

The helper springs are exactly the same as on Clubsport/V3. So if it won't be different than on either of those.
Also the cylinder bodies designs are identical between the Clubsport, V3 and XTA (material is the only difference). The approved drop is the same for all 3 models: 320 mm from hub center to fender. Anyone looking for extreme drops, probably wouldn't look to KW in the first place, or hence be interested in the XTAs either.
