It’s a familiar scene for us: my son Mason takes a tumble, and moments later, he’s back at the van asking me to straighten his twisted front end. Despite being meticulous about torque settings on the triple clamp to avoid binding the outer tubes, I was shocked at how easily the forks could twist.

While scrolling through social media, I noticed a post from fellow mini Dad Andrew Short about his son’s double bolt top triple clamp for the KTM 85. It caught my attention because it seemed like a potential fix for the front-end instability we were experiencing. I soon discovered that EZE, an Australian manufacturer renowned for its high-quality clamps and hubs, was also offering a double bolt top clamp. With Karlas, the founder and engineer of EZE, having a son who’s an impressive rider on an 85, it was clear that these clamps would be crafted with serious attention to detail.

After reaching out to Karlas, a set of sleek black clamps was quickly on its way to us. These clamps feature a split setup for added comfort during slap downs, rubber mounts to reduce vibration, and a double bolt design to improve front-end stability.

The impact of the EZE triple clamps on Mason’s GasGas 85 has been transformative. The clamps have noticeably improved front-end stability and steering precision.
