KTM 790/890 ADV - Norden 901 Shock Heat Shield

$89.00 USD

The 2024 KTM 790/890 and Norden 901 require a different heat shield than the previous models. Make sure to select "2024-up models" when ordering!

Keep the heat out of your 790/890/901 shock with our 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, 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.


Available in Matte Titanium and Matte Black finish.

Common Sense Shock Protection

I am big into recognizing and taking action to prevent issues that are simple and easy to address, but a royal pain to fix out in the field. This heat shield falls into that category. It is super-easy to install, and provides some peace of mind in regard to protecting my shock from needing a premature rebuild.

What about the right side???

Easy installation, clean design Works well to limit heat on shock and the left side of bike next to foot pegs….BUT on the right side there is a LOT of exhaust pipe on the right side exposed and cooking your ankle/leg and brake reservoir. Would love to see a product to help with heat control on right side

Nice addition, noticeably cooler shock

Just put on a second one of these for my wife's new Norden and thought I'd better write a review. I've had one on my 790r for a few years and a lot of miles. Works great to keep the shock cool. I'm not sure how much extra life it'll give me, but it's a nice clean design that is easy to install and it certainly can't hurt. I've used hundreds of rolls of the VHB tape Camel is using on this product and can attest to it's longevity as an adhesive. Clean things well and use thumb pressure to bond the shield to the frame member. VHB activates with pressure and it's not coming off without a lot of force.

Made a BIG difference!

I got it, installed it and went to do some off-road riding in 95F heat. I went to touch the coil spring after several hours of riding. I was expecting it to be hot! Much to my surprise, the suspension was not hot; very warm and touchable. It is amazing how much difference it makes in shielding the heat. Now I need to get the one finger clutch kit and the headlight support brackets.
