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

The KTM X-BOW GT-XR is a homologation-grade closed-cockpit racer that happens to wear number plates – 500hp from the Audi-sourced 2.5 TFSI, a carbon monocoque, and a kerb weight that lets it embarrass cars costing three times as much around a circuit. Asking a road-biased coilover to control that level of intent is a category error. The Racing Spec coilover exists for exactly this kind of car.

This is the kit you fit when the GT-XR is being run in anger – club sprints, time attack, full track days where the tyres are getting cycled hard and the data-logger is the arbiter. Spring rates, valving, and damper travel are set up for circuit work first, not for the school run.

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

The GT-XR’s mid-engined layout puts roughly 60% of its mass over the rear axle, and the standard suspension is already firm by passenger-car standards. The Racing Spec moves the platform a step further: tighter body control through long, high-load corners, sharper turn-in response without the front washing wide, and a rear that stays planted under the kind of throttle application that 500hp encourages on corner exit. Repeated hot laps stop softening the damping the way a softer kit will, so lap times stabilise instead of drifting off as the session goes on. Ride height is adjustable down to the limits the chassis will physically accept, which matters when you are chasing the right aero rake on a car that genuinely makes downforce.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec damper is built specifically for track race work. Every setting in the kit – spring rate selection, valving curves, droop limits – comes out of XYZ Racing’s direct participation in circuit racing, including the WTCC programme. This is not a road coilover detuned with stiffer springs; it is a circuit kit that has been signed off against stopwatch data. For cars running aggressive upgrades beyond factory spec – A-class race builds, heavy aero packages, sticky slick tyres – XYZ Racing will produce a custom valving spec to suit the car and the specific circuit it will be run on. You supply the upgrade list and the venues; they build the damper to match. The standard Racing Spec catalogue option is the right starting point for a GT-XR being run on semi-slicks at UK circuits like Donington, Snetterton, or Brands.

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

Engineered for the KT01 platform GT-XR from the 2023 model year through current production. The kit is sized to the closed-cockpit GT-XR specifically – it is not a generic X-BOW fitment and accounts for the GT-XR’s revised geometry over the open-top R variants.
