Öhlins FGRT 214 Upside Down Fork Road & Track – Ducati Panigale V4 (2018–2024)

When lap times matter and braking stability is non-negotiable, the Öhlins FGRT 214 Road & Track upside-down fork is the benchmark upgrade for the Ducati Panigale V4. Developed directly from hardware proven in Superbike Championship competition, this fork brings genuine race-derived damping control to road and track riding alike — every dive under braking, every mid-corner load change handled with the precision that Öhlins is renowned for worldwide.

Key Features

• Race-proven 30 mm cartridge kit — the same architecture deployed at the front of Superbike Championship machinery, delivering class-leading damping response across the full stroke.
• Independent compression and rebound damping adjustment allows fine-tuning to suit circuit conditions, rider weight, and riding style without compromise.
• Optimised braking stability keeps the Panigale V4 planted and predictable under hard trail-braking into slow corners, where setup quality is most exposed.
• Spring rate of 10.0 N/mm (spring part number 04744-10, 04744-series) is factory-matched to the Panigale V4 platform for immediate, accurate chassis balance.
• Upside-down architecture reduces unsprung mass for faster suspension response and improved high-speed stability — critical at the front end of a 200 hp V4.
• Type Code Front Fork R&T confirms this is a complete road and track unit, not a track-only conversion, so it carries German ABE approval for road use in Germany.

Race Heritage, Road-Legal Execution

Öhlins developed the FGRT 214 within their Road & Track programme — a line that sits directly between the standard OEM replacement and a full WSB-specification unit. The 30 mm cartridge internals are machined and assembled to the tolerances Öhlins applies to their race products, yet the fork is engineered for repeated road cycles, variable temperatures and everyday street use. The result is a suspension component that genuinely crosses the gap: fast enough in response to satisfy a circuit rider pushing for consistent lap times, yet progressive and controlled enough for spirited road riding where the surface is unpredictable.

Precision Adjustment for Every Session

The independently adjustable compression and rebound damping circuits give the rider — or their suspension technician — granular control over the fork's behaviour. Stiffen compression damping for a high-speed circuit where the V4 is carrying maximum speed over crests and kerbs. Open rebound to add stability on a flowing, technical road. The calibration range is wide enough to accommodate a broad spectrum of riders without the fork ever feeling compromised at either extreme of the adjustment window.
