Comfort & Performance Upgrade for Harley-Davidson Softail
Transform the ride quality and handling of your Harley-Davidson with the Öhlins NIX 30 American V-Twin Cartridge Kit. Developed from race-proven Öhlins suspension technology, this cartridge system delivers a unique blend of comfort, control, and performance — giving riders the ability to cruise smoothly or push harder with confidence.
