The KTM Fork Protector is a purpose-built chassis protection accessory designed to help shield the fork sealing area on offroad KTM motorcycles. Made from Neoprene and finished in Black, it adds a protective layer where dirt, moisture, and trail debris can accelerate wear over time.
This Fork Protector, part number A46001996000, is specified for use on all 48 mm forks and is intended to be used together with an open fork protector. For model fitment, refer to the vehicle compatibility listing shown on the page.
Designed specifically for all 48 mm forks, this fork protector is a straightforward way to add targeted coverage where the fork legs and sealing area need protection. It focuses on the fork zone most exposed to roost, mud, and grime during offroad riding.
Its primary job is protecting the fork seal area. By helping reduce direct exposure to debris and contamination, it supports cleaner operation around the seals and contributes to keeping the sealing surfaces better protected in demanding offroad conditions.
This KTM Fork Protector is intended for use with an open fork protector. That pairing helps create a more complete protection setup around the fork area, combining coverage while keeping the overall approach aligned with KTM’s specified fork-protection configuration.
Construction
Constructed from Neoprene and supplied in Black, this fork protector is built with a material choice commonly used where flexible coverage is needed around components exposed to dirt and spray. The Neoprene construction is listed in the specifications and is matched with a simple, factory-looking finish that aligns with KTM offroad chassis protection parts.
Protection
KTM specifies this fork protector for all 48 mm forks and notes it as ideal protection for sealing the fork. It is also specified for use with an open fork protector, making it a component meant to work within a broader fork-protection setup. Confirm the listed applications by checking the vehicle compatibility information provided on the product page.
