The Dal Soggio 1P.SPH.WPXPLOR3.0 SPHERE 3.0<\/strong> is a complete sealed and pressurized hydraulic cartridge developed specifically for compatible WP Xplor front forks used on KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas Enduro motorcycles from 2017 to 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SPHERE 3.0 represents the latest evolution of Dal Soggio’s hydraulic cartridge platform, developed through dyno testing and on-track development to improve fork sensitivity, hydraulic precision, linearity, and rider feedback.<\/p>\n

One of the principal upgrades is the redesigned bladder system<\/strong>. Dal Soggio describes the new bladder as thinner and stronger than the previous version, improving cartridge sensitivity and providing greater precision during hydraulic bleeding.<\/p>\n

The compression base valve<\/strong> has also been redesigned to provide separate High-Speed Compression and Low-Speed Compression settings<\/strong>, allowing the two damping ranges to be adjusted independently according to terrain, riding style, and suspension setup.<\/p>\n

SPHERE 3.0 uses a larger 36 mm compression piston<\/strong>, replacing the previous 28 mm design. According to Dal Soggio, the increased piston diameter significantly improves the linearity of the complete front fork.<\/p>\n

The cartridge also introduces Direct Flow Technology<\/strong>. With this architecture, the piston receives oil directly rather than routing it through Z-shaped passages, reducing stress within the cartridge and creating a more direct hydraulic flow path.<\/p>\n

The SPHERE system uses Dal Soggio CUBE Fork Oil 5W<\/strong> and is intended as a comprehensive performance upgrade for riders seeking greater hydraulic control from the original WP Xplor fork.<\/p>\n

    Application & Compatibility<\/h3>\n

    The 1P.SPH.WPXPLOR3.0<\/strong> is officially listed by Dal Soggio for:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • WP Xplor front forks<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • KTM Enduro<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Husqvarna Enduro<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • GasGas Enduro<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Model years 2017 to 2023<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The exact motorcycle fitment depends on the presence of the corresponding WP Xplor fork<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Dal Soggio treats the later GasGas Xplor application separately under 1P.SPH.WPXPLOR-GG3.0<\/strong>, so GasGas model years from 2024 onward should not be considered part of this SKU.<\/p>\n

      <\/h3>\n

      <\/h3>\n

      SPHERE 3.0 Bladder System<\/h3>\n

      The SPHERE cartridge uses a pressurized bladder as part of its internal hydraulic pressure-management system.<\/p>\n

      For the 3.0 generation, Dal Soggio redesigned the bladder to make it thinner and stronger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      This update is intended to provide:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • increased cartridge sensitivity;<\/li>\n
      • more precise response to suspension movement;<\/li>\n
      • improved hydraulic bleeding accuracy;<\/li>\n
      • consistent internal pressure management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        <\/h3>\n

        <\/h3>\n

        Separate High- and Low-Speed Compression<\/h3>\n

        The redesigned compression base valve allows independent adjustment of:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • High-Speed Compression<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Low-Speed Compression<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          These terms refer to the speed of fork movement<\/strong>, not motorcycle speed.<\/p>\n

          Low-speed damping primarily influences slower suspension movements such as braking load and chassis pitch, while high-speed damping becomes increasingly relevant during faster fork movements caused by sharper impacts.<\/p>\n

          Independent adjustment gives the suspension technician greater control over the balance between comfort, support, and impact management.<\/p>\n

          <\/h3>\n

          <\/h3>\n

          36 mm Compression Piston<\/h3>\n

          SPHERE 3.0 increases the compression piston diameter from 28 mm to 36 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          According to Dal Soggio, this larger piston significantly increases the linearity of the complete front fork.<\/p>\n

          The increased piston area works together with the redesigned compression valve and Direct Flow system as part of the complete SPHERE 3.0 hydraulic architecture.<\/p>\n

          <\/h3>\n

          <\/h3>\n

          Direct Flow Technology<\/h3>\n

          The Direct Flow Technology<\/strong> introduced on SPHERE 3.0 changes the way suspension oil reaches the damping piston.<\/p>\n

          Instead of passing through Z-shaped internal passages, oil reaches the piston directly.<\/p>\n

          This more direct hydraulic path is designed to:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • reduce internal cartridge stress;<\/li>\n
          • simplify oil movement;<\/li>\n
          • improve damping consistency;<\/li>\n
          • provide a more direct suspension response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            <\/h3>\n

            <\/h3>\n

            WP Xplor Application<\/h3>\n

            The WP Xplor fork was used extensively on KTM and Husqvarna Enduro platforms during this product’s compatibility period and subsequently on GasGas Enduro models.<\/p>\n

            Dal Soggio offers several levels of WP Xplor upgrade, including XP-One, XP-One PRO, SPHERE, and the complete FSR-48 fork.<\/p>\n

            Within this range, SPHERE 3.0 is the complete sealed and pressurized cartridge solution<\/strong>, replacing the original damping cartridge architecture rather than simply modifying individual valves.<\/p>\n

            <\/h3>\n

            <\/h3>\n

            Recommended Oil<\/h3>\n

            Dal Soggio specifies CUBE Fork Oil 5W<\/strong> inside SPHERE cartridges.<\/p>\n

            Correct suspension fluid is important for consistent damping response, accurate bleeding, lubrication, and repeatable hydraulic performance.<\/p>\n

            <\/h3>\n

            <\/h3>\n

            Installation Note<\/h3>\n

            SPHERE 3.0 requires installation inside the original WP Xplor fork, correct hydraulic bleeding, spring and preload setup, oil-level adjustment, and final damping calibration.<\/p>\n

            Unlike the later WP XACT CC version, Dal Soggio does not identify this WP Xplor cartridge as a Quick Install<\/strong> application.<\/p>\n

            Installation and final setup by a qualified suspension technician or Dal Soggio specialist<\/strong> are therefore recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
