Camel Adv Products Shock Heat Shield For KTM 790/890 ADV ('19-'23) Husqvarna Norden 901 ('22-'23)

Keep the heat out of your 790/890/901 shock with Camel's heat shield. A cooler shock improves your suspension performance and extends service intervals.

To meet Euro 5 emissions, KTM mounted a large catalytic converter on the 790/890/901. We're all for lower exhaust emissions but the CAT is located directly under the rear shock. The CAT can be several hundred degrees under normal bike operation and heat from the CAT increases the shock temperature. When the shock oil is overheated, it goes through thermal breakdown. This process changes the oil's viscosity which can lead to increased wear on moving parts and poor suspension performance referred to as heat fade.

Our aluminum heat shield is TIG welded and ceramic-coated. It mounts between the bike's CAT and rear shock to lower the shock's operating temperature. Less heat from the CAT means the shock oil stays cooler, service intervals are extended, and the effects of shock heat fade are reduced.

We've received lots of questions about the 790/890 ADV-R shock failures and the relationship to catalytic converter heat.  Camel ADV is not a suspension shop but we believe there are issues with the ADV R shock's internal parts as well as excessive heat from the CAT. If the problem were heat alone, the S models would be failing too, but they don't seem to be, or at least not in the same numbers. 

Whether you have a 790/890 ADV-R, 790 ADV-S, or are running the WP Pro components, keeping excessive heat out of them is critical to good suspension performance and longevity. However, our heat shield will not fix the ADV-R's underlying shock issue.

Please Note: KTM 890/Norden 901 Shock Heat Shield is NOT compatible with the 2024 models.
