DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R1M in its RN32 and RN49 generations, the Öhlins NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 234 transforms the factory fork into a precision suspension unit worthy of the R1M's electronics-laden chassis. Built around a 30 mm cartridge system, this kit delivers a measurable step forward in damping consistency and front-end stability whether you are pushing hard on track or demanding more from a fast road.
Key Features
- 30 mm cartridge design provides a substantial improvement in damping performance over the stock internals, with tighter control across the full stroke
- Compression damping and its adjuster are housed in the left fork leg, keeping adjustments clean and logically separated
- Rebound damping and its adjuster sit in the right fork leg, giving independent, precise tuning of each damping circuit
- All adjustments — including spring preload — are accessible directly at the fork cap, so setup changes on the grid or at the roadside require no special tools
- Compatible with the Öhlins ABE (Germany) homologation, allowing road-legal use on German roads
- Supplied with a full installation guide; professional fitment by an authorised Öhlins Service Centre is recommended for optimal results
Construction & Engineering
Öhlins has built its reputation on material quality and manufacturing precision, and the NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 234 exemplifies that standard. The cartridge internals are machined to the tolerances Öhlins applies across its top-tier suspension range, ensuring consistent oil flow and repeatable damping characteristics over thousands of kilometres. The separated compression and rebound circuits are not simply a convenience feature — they allow the rider to dial in a front-end feel that suits their riding style without one adjustment compromising the other.
Springs are not included with the kit and must be ordered separately from the Öhlins 08790 series. Selecting the correct spring rate for rider weight and intended use is essential, and an authorised Öhlins dealer can advise on the appropriate specification.
Important Fitment Note
This cartridge kit is designed exclusively for Yamaha YZF-R1M models equipped with the Öhlins TTX electronic fork. Fitting the NIX 30 system will deactivate the electronically controlled damping function of the fork. Riders who rely heavily on the R1M's active suspension system should factor this into their decision. The kit is not compatible with the standard YZF-R1 (non-M) fork.
