Key Features

  • Listed by Öhlins for the Kawasaki ZX4-R (2023–2025) and no other machine

Why This Machine Needs It

This part number spans model years 2023 to 2025; earlier and later generations take different numbers.

Materials and Manufacture

Shafts are hardened and surface-treated so the seal has a consistent surface to run against. Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. The cartridges are supplied as a matched pair, tested together before packing.

Damping and Adjustment

Oil level is set at 130. Fill specification is 01309, which is part of the setting rather than a detail. Each fork leg takes one function, so each adjuster has a single, clear effect. The kit is re-valvable, so a suspension technician can go beyond the click range if needed.

The NIX 22 in Detail

NIX splits the work between the two fork legs: one leg handles compression, the other rebound. The kit goes inside the standard fork legs. The NIX 22 uses Öhlins' split-function layout in a 22 mm cartridge for smaller forks.

Fitment and Compatibility

Öhlins releases 21944-02 against the Kawasaki ZX4-R (2023–2025). The number is shared with 3 sibling models that use the same mounting and settings, and this listing covers the Kawasaki ZX4-R.

Road Approval

Road approval: ABE (Germany). The unit is covered by a German ABE for the Kawasaki ZX4-R, so no individual inspection or entry in the vehicle documents is required. The approval document ships with the product.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins suspension rewards careful fitting. We recommend having the work done by an authorised Öhlins service centre — and we are one ourselves: we fit, service and set up Öhlins components in house. If you would like us to handle the installation, just ask and we will quote it with the order.
