XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Ktm X-BOW GT-XR 2023-2026

The KTM X-BOW GT-XR is an oddity on a stage entry list – a mid-engined, carbon-tubbed road-legal racer with a 500bhp Audi five-pot sitting where most rally cars carry a boot. Its short wheelbase and tubular chassis are unforgiving over broken tarmac, and the standard damping is set up for circuit smoothness rather than the compression hits a sealed Tarmac stage will throw at it. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for that exact mismatch.

This is the rally-specific tune in the XYZ range, developed from the brand’s own Tarmac Rally programme rather than rebadged from a circuit kit. For a 1,750kg KTM crossover running serious power through a low, stiff platform, the priorities are clear – control over kerbs and surface joins, traction on patched-up resurfacing, and a chassis that stays composed when the road camber turns against you mid-corner.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Ktm X-bow Gt-xr

On a stage car the GT-XR’s tubular structure transmits every surface change straight to the driver, and standard damping leaves the rear axle skipping under acceleration over bumps. The Tarmac Rally damping is set to soak up sharp compression strikes without packing down, so the tyre stays in contact through the worst of a broken surface. Front-end bite improves where the GT-XR’s mid-engine balance wants to wash wide on entry, and the rear settles earlier on the throttle out of long, loaded corners. Ride height and preload adjustment let you set the car for stage-pace ground clearance rather than circuit ride height, which matters on a vehicle this low. The result is a chassis that feels planted on the rough sections where the GT-XR’s stock setup runs out of travel.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is engineered around impact absorption for uneven pavement – the kind of crest, dip and patchwork tarmac you get on closed-road stages rather than groomed circuit surfaces. The valving suppresses body shock through big compression events while keeping the tyre loaded for traction, which is the opposite trade-off from a circuit damper that prioritises platform stiffness. XYZ Racing have drawn the settings directly from their own Tarmac Rally racing experience, and the kit carries the height and preload adjustability you need to corner-weight a car like the GT-XR for a specific surface. Construction is the same heavy-duty hardware that runs through XYZ’s competition catalogue. The Tarmac Rally tune is the right pick when the surface is sealed but rough – not gravel, not smooth track, but the patched, cambered, kerb-strewn reality of UK and European tarmac stages.

Fitment for the Ktm X-BOW GT-XR (2023-2026)

This coilover is built for the KT01 chassis GT-XR, the closed-cockpit GT-spec X-BOW produced from 2023 through 2026. It is the rally-tuned variant in the XYZ range for this chassis – confirm your model year and chassis designation against the listed range before configuring.
