Advanced Öhlins Adventure Technology
NIX 30 Damping System
Compression damping operates in one fork leg while rebound damping operates in the other, improving damping precision, stability, and ease of adjustment.
Fully Adjustable Suspension
All adjustments — compression, rebound, and spring preload — are located at the fork top caps for quick setup changes during rides or terrain transitions.
Hydraulic Bottoming Control
An integrated hydraulic stop reduces harsh bottoming during aggressive off-road riding and heavy impacts.
Adventure-Focused Engineering
Designed specifically for mid-weight adventure bikes, providing durability, long service intervals, and consistent performance under extended hard use.
Drop-In Installation
Installs directly into the OEM Kayaba fork legs, replacing internal components without altering chassis geometry.
