Öhlins NIX 30 Supersport Front Fork Cartridge Kit
Kawasaki ZX-6R (600cc) 2009–2016
Race-Derived Front Suspension Performance
Upgrade the front suspension performance of your Kawasaki ZX-6R with the Öhlins NIX 30 Supersport Front Fork Cartridge Kit, a race-inspired upgrade developed using technology from World Supersport and Superstock racing programs.
Designed specifically for ZX-6R models equipped with OEM Showa forks, this cartridge system replaces the stock fork internals with Öhlins’ advanced NIX damping technology, delivering significantly improved front-end stability, enhanced braking control, and superior rider feedback.

The NIX 30 system is designed to deliver stable damping characteristics and improved suspension control for both track and aggressive street riding.
Advanced Öhlins NIX 30 Technology
Independent Damping Functions
The NIX design separates damping duties between fork legs:
This configuration improves damping precision and simplifies suspension tuning.
External Adjustability
Compression, rebound, and spring preload adjustments are conveniently located at the top of the fork caps, allowing quick and accurate setup changes.
Race-Derived Internal Architecture
The 30 mm piston design increases oil flow and damping control, improving suspension consistency while minimizing cavitation during hard riding.
Drop-In Cartridge Installation
The kit installs directly into the OEM fork legs, allowing riders to achieve race-level suspension performance without replacing the entire fork assembly.
