DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R1 RN65, the Öhlins NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 239 transforms the factory fork into a precision suspension unit that inspires confidence from the first lap to the last mile. Whether you are threading through technical track sections or covering ground on demanding roads, the 30 mm cartridge system delivers a level of damping refinement and chassis stability that the standard internals simply cannot match.
Key Features
- 30 mm cartridge system provides a substantial improvement in damping consistency and fork stiffness over the OEM internals
- Compression damping and its adjuster are housed in the left fork leg, keeping circuit-side tuning intuitive and methodical
- Rebound damping and its dedicated adjuster sit in the right fork leg for equally precise, independent control
- All adjustments — including spring preload — are accessible at the fork cap, making setup changes quick and comfortable without removing the wheel
- Compatible with the Öhlins 08790-series springs, allowing you to tailor spring rate to your weight, riding style and track surface
- Includes a full installation guide; professional fitting by an authorised Öhlins Service Centre is recommended for optimal results
- ABE approval (Germany) ensures road-legal use on German roads without individual vehicle inspection
Precision Damping Architecture
The NIX 30 platform separates compression and rebound circuits into dedicated fork legs, eliminating the compromise inherent in conventional all-in-one cartridges. Compression damping in the left leg controls how rapidly the fork absorbs bumps and braking forces, while rebound in the right leg governs how quickly the fork returns to its set position. Because each circuit is independently adjustable at the fork cap, you can dial in exactly the ride you want — whether that means a supple, all-day setup for a long road session or a firmer, ultra-responsive character for circuit work — without removing wheels or special tooling.
Track & Road Performance
On the track, the FGK 239 brings the Yamaha YZF-R1 RN65's chassis behaviour closer to that of a factory Superbike: consistent braking stability under late, heavy stops, confident turn-in without unwanted flex, and a planted front end that communicates tyre load clearly through the bars. On the road, the same adjustability means you are never locked into a race-stiff compromise — a few clicks of preload and damping are all it takes to transform the fork into a comfortable, all-day touring partner that still reacts crisply when the road opens up.
