Front Fork for KTM 390 Adventure: Heavy Duty
This front fork is built for the KTM 390 Adventure and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the heavy duty programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: lead time that slipped twice before bulk started, or warranty claims traced back to a single lot. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The heavy duty build is the one most often ordered for weekend riding. Riders also fit it for heavy load hauling, construction sites, adventure travel, motocross.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
