Advanced Öhlins NIX Technology
NIX 30 Damping Architecture
The NIX design separates damping functions between fork legs:
This layout improves damping accuracy and simplifies suspension tuning.
External Adjustability
Compression, rebound, and spring preload adjustments are located at the top of the fork, allowing riders to quickly dial in suspension settings for track conditions or rider preference.
