Performance Benefits
Advanced Öhlins NIX Technology
NIX 30 Cartridge System
Compression damping is located in one fork leg and rebound damping in the other, delivering more precise, stable, and consistent suspension performance.
Independent Damping Control
Separating compression and rebound allows quicker and more accurate suspension adjustments, improving both performance and rider confidence.
Full External Adjustability
External preload, compression, and rebound adjusters allow you to dial in your suspension setup for riding style, rider weight, and track conditions.
Race-Proven Engineering
Developed using Öhlins’ extensive experience in World Supersport and Superstock racing for superior damping precision and reliability.
Drop-In Installation
Designed to install into the OEM fork legs, upgrading performance without altering the external fork geometry.
