DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered exclusively for closed-circuit competition, the Öhlins FGR 256 is a fully race-specification USD front fork built to extract every tenth of a second from the Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S (model years 2025-2026). Developed from decades of Öhlins involvement in MotoGP, World Superbike and the top international race series, this fork represents the very pinnacle of suspension technology available to privateer racers today.

Key Features

  • Race-only USD construction derived directly from Öhlins factory MotoGP and World Superbike programmes, delivering unmatched initial response and mid-corner stability.
  • Twin-tube damper technology (T-type) for independent control of compression and rebound forces, giving riders precise, repeatable feedback from late braking through to corner exit.
  • True plug-and-play fitment for the Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S (2025-2026) — no additional fabrication or modification required for installation.
  • 10.0 N/mm spring rate (spring part number 04744-10, series 04744-xx) tuned for the weight and chassis geometry of the latest Panigale V4 platform.
  • 125 mm of wheel travel over a 745 mm overall length, calibrated for the aggressive ride heights and steep rake angles typical of Superbike competition.
  • Supplied as a matched pair (left and right legs) so both sides are built, tested and shimmed to the same specification from the factory.

Race Pedigree and Engineering

The FGR 256 sits within Öhlins' Front Fork R&T (Road and Track) range — a line that feeds directly from prototype racing into the hands of serious club and championship competitors. The T designation confirms the twin-tube damper architecture, a layout that separates oil flow between compression and rebound circuits more cleanly than conventional single-tube designs. The result is a fork that remains composed under the hardest braking events, tracks surface irregularities without deflecting, and transmits a level of feel through the handlebar that allows a rider to consistently find the limit rather than guess at it.

Öhlins specifies its own 01309-01 fork oil for the FGR 256, ensuring the hydraulic characteristics remain within the tolerances the fork was designed and shimmed around. Using the correct fluid is not optional on a race-grade component — it is part of the safety and performance certification of the assembly.

Safety and Certification Notice

The Öhlins FGR 256 is designed and approved exclusively for motorsport use. It carries no road-use type approval and must not be fitted to any motorcycle operated on public roads. Installation and use are the sole responsibility of the team or rider, and the fork must be fitted, set up and inspected by a qualified technician in accordance with Öhlins' technical documentation. These requirements are not advisory — they are conditions of safe and correct use of a competition component.

Fitment and Compatibility

  • Ducati Panigale V4 (2025-2026)
  • Ducati Panigale V4 S (2025-2026)

The FGR 256 is engineered as a direct replacement for the front fork assembly on these model years. No additional brackets, adapters or chassis modification is required — genuine plug-and-play installation at the front axle.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre. We are one, and we do the work here: installation, servicing and a proper setup. Ask us and we will include it with the order.
