About the Product

Öhlins NIX 30 Supersport Front Fork Cartridge Kit

Yamaha YZF-R7 (Kayaba Forks) 2021–Present

Race-Derived Front Suspension Performance

Upgrade the front suspension performance of your Yamaha YZF-R7 with the Öhlins NIX 30 Supersport Front Fork Cartridge Kit. Developed using race-proven Öhlins technology, this cartridge system delivers improved front-end stability, enhanced rider feedback, and superior damping precision for both track riding and aggressive sport street use.

Specifically designed for YZF-R7 models equipped with Kayaba (KYB) front forks, the NIX 30 cartridge replaces the OEM fork internals with Öhlins’ advanced damping architecture, dramatically improving handling control, braking support, and overall chassis balance.

Performance Benefits

• Improved braking stability with reduced fork dive

• Increased front tire grip and feedback

• Greater confidence during corner entry and trail braking

• More precise suspension control across varying track conditions

• Improved comfort and compliance over bumps

• Wider tuning range for personalized suspension setup

The system delivers precise damping performance and enhanced chassis stability, helping riders push harder on track while maintaining predictable handling on the street.

Advanced Öhlins NIX Technology

NIX 30 Damping Architecture

The NIX design separates damping functions between fork legs:

• Compression damping in the left fork leg

• Rebound damping in the right fork leg

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.

Race-Inspired Performance

Developed using experience from professional racing programs, the NIX 30 system delivers consistent damping behavior and improved control during aggressive riding.

Drop-In Cartridge Upgrade

The cartridge kit installs directly into the OEM fork legs, providing a major suspension upgrade without requiring modifications to the fork tubes or chassis.
