About the Product

Öhlins NIX 30 Street Front Fork Cartridge Kit

Ducati Scrambler Icon / Café Racer / Full Throttle (Kayaba Forks) 2015–2021

Premium Street Suspension Upgrade

Transform the front suspension performance of your Ducati Scrambler with the Öhlins NIX 30 Street Front Fork Cartridge Kit. Developed using technology derived from high-level racing, this cartridge system delivers improved front-end stability, enhanced rider feedback, and superior damping control for both spirited street riding and aggressive canyon carving.

Designed specifically for Ducati Scrambler models equipped with Kayaba (KYB) forks, this kit replaces the OEM fork internals with Öhlins’ advanced NIX damping architecture. The result is improved braking support, smoother bump absorption, and greater confidence when pushing the bike through corners.

Performance Benefits

• Improved front-end stability and steering precision

• Reduced fork dive during braking

• Increased front tire traction and rider feedback

• More controlled suspension movement over bumps

• Greater confidence during corner entry and mid-corner control

• Balanced comfort for street riding with sport-level performance

The cartridge kit is engineered to provide both comfort and performance, making it ideal for riders who use their Scrambler for daily riding and spirited weekend rides.

Advanced Öhlins NIX Technology

NIX 30 Damping Architecture

The NIX system separates damping functions between fork legs:

• Compression damping in one fork leg

• Rebound damping in the opposite leg

This design improves damping precision and makes suspension tuning easier.

External Adjustability

Compression, rebound, and spring preload adjustments are all accessible from the fork top caps, allowing quick setup changes depending on riding style or road conditions.

Race-Derived Engineering

Developed using Öhlins’ extensive experience in World Superbike racing, the NIX 30 system provides consistent damping behavior and improved chassis balance.

Drop-In Installation

The cartridge kit installs directly into the OEM fork legs without modifying the fork tubes or chassis.
