Developed from decades of racing experience in Supersport and Superstock competition, this cartridge system delivers stable damping characteristics, improved braking control, and significantly enhanced rider feedback.

Advanced Öhlins Technology

NIX 22 Cartridge Design

The proven Öhlins NIX architecture separates damping functions:

• Compression damping in one fork leg

• Rebound damping in the opposite leg

This design improves damping precision, chassis stability, and simplifies suspension tuning.

External Adjustability

All adjustments — compression, rebound, and spring preload — are located at the fork top caps, allowing fast and precise setup changes.

Race-Developed Performance

Based on extensive racing development, the system delivers controlled damping response while maintaining excellent comfort and consistency.
