Öhlins NIX 30 Supersport Front Fork Cartridge Kit
Yamaha YZF-R6 (2008–2015) – Kayaba Forks
Race-Proven Front Suspension Upgrade
Take your Yamaha YZF-R6 to the next level with the Öhlins NIX 30 Supersport Front Fork Cartridge Kit. Developed using technology from World Supersport and Superstock racing, this cartridge system delivers improved front-end stability, enhanced braking control, and superior rider feedback for both track riding and aggressive street use.
