DescriptionThe whole story▼
Built for riders who refuse to compromise between road and track, the Öhlins FGRT 205 is a race-proven upside-down fork engineered specifically for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2012–2016). At the heart of this assembly sits the Öhlins 30 mm cartridge kit — the same technology trusted in national Superbike championships — delivering the precise, consistent damping that separates a good lap from a great one.
Key Features
- Öhlins 30 mm cartridge kit: the benchmark standard in national Superbike competition, brought directly to your GSX-R 1000
- Independent compression and rebound damping adjustment for dialled-in handling across every corner and braking zone
- 725 mm fork length with 120 mm of travel and a 10.0 N/mm spring rate — a performance-oriented setup that sharpens both braking stability and corner entry
- Road & Track (R&T) type code: equally at home on a Sunday morning blast or a full track day session
- Spring part number 04744-10 from the 04744 series, ensuring correct fitment and easy future servicing
- German ABE type approval for 2012–2014 model years; General Parts Appraisal (Allgemeines Teilegutachten) applicable for 2015–2016
Track-Bred Performance on the Road
The FGRT 205 carries Öhlins' race-department DNA into a package that meets street-legal requirements without softening its character. The 30 mm cartridge system provides a level of damping control that stock forks simply cannot match: the compression circuit handles high-speed and low-speed inputs separately, while the rebound adjustment lets you tailor how quickly the front end recovers after braking or mid-corner disturbances. The result is a front end that inspires confidence whether you are trail-braking into a hairpin on track or tipping into a fast A-road sweeper.
Build Quality & Engineering
Every component in the FGRT 205 reflects Öhlins' uncompromising approach to suspension manufacture. The upside-down architecture places the larger-diameter tubes at the top, significantly reducing unsprung mass compared to a conventional right-side-up fork, and increasing lateral stiffness for more accurate steering. The fork is supplied as a complete, ready-to-fit unit, built and tested in Öhlins' facility to the tolerances demanded by professional racing teams.
Fitment & Compatibility
- Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2012–2014) — German ABE type approval included
- Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2015–2016) — General Parts Appraisal (Allgemeines Teilegutachten) required
Please note: ABE approval applies to model years 2012–2014 only. Owners of 2015–2016 machines should confirm the applicable regional approval documentation before road use.
