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

The KTM X-BOW GT-XR carries its mass low and rearward, with the Audi-sourced 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo mounted behind the cockpit and driving the rear wheels through a carbon monocoque that weighs almost nothing. That layout is a gift on a drag strip, but only if the suspension lets the rear squat and load the driven tyres the instant you launch. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover for the GT-XR is built around that first moment.

This is a straight-line specialist, not a circuit setup. The valving and spring choice are tuned for the 0-400 launch and the few hundred metres that follow, where getting the five-pot’s output to the tarmac without lighting up the rears decides the whole run.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Ktm X-BOW GT-XR

Off the line, the damping is set to let weight shift rearward and plant the GT-XR’s driven tyres, forcing more compression into the contact patch the moment the launch bites. That extra load cuts the wheelspin that quietly throws away a light car’s advantage, so more of the five-cylinder’s torque becomes forward motion instead of smoke. Through the top end, the same coilovers keep the X-BOW GT-XR settled as speed builds, holding it stable through the trap where a nervous car costs you tenths. On a machine this light, ride-height and corner-weight adjustment also let you tune how hard the rear digs in for your tyre and surface.

About the Drag Racing coilover

The Drag Racing series is engineered for one job: the standing-start sprint. Where XYZ Racing’s circuit kits chase body control through corners, this one is valved to manage longitudinal weight transfer, the deliberate movement of mass between the front and rear axles as the car launches and accelerates. The damping is biased to load the driven axle under hard acceleration, pressing the rear tyres harder into the surface so they bite rather than spin. XYZ specifies the platform across FWD, RWD and 4WD applications, the setup adapting to whichever axle is putting power down. On the rear-driven X-BOW GT-XR, that means working the rear contact patches hardest. The payoff is less wheel idle time at the launch and steadier behaviour as speed climbs toward the end of the strip. It is a focused, single-discipline coilover rather than a do-everything road set.

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

This kit is matched to the KTM X-BOW GT-XR, chassis code KT01, covering the 2023 to 2026 model years. It is specified for the closed-canopy GT-XR rather than the open track X-BOW variants. Check your build year against the range above before configuring.
