Drawing on decades of testing and high-tier racing experience, the Öhlins NIX 22 cartridge kits represent the pinnacle of performance and precision. Engineered to deliver exceptional damping, comfort, and stability, these kits inspire rider confidence and are now available for motorcycles with conventional front forks.

Each NIX 22 cartridge kit is extensively tested and meticulously tailored to meet the unique requirements of every bike. Featuring the proven “NIX” design—with compression damping on the left leg and rebound damping on the right leg—these kits deliver precise performance and improved stability. All adjustments, including spring preload, are conveniently made at the top cap for effortless tuning.

The cartridge system is designed to fit directly into the original front fork and includes high-quality springs. Please refer to the specific cartridge kit’s mounting instructions for recommendations on spring rates and oil selection based on rider weight and preference.
