DescriptionThe whole story▼
FKR 229 is the Öhlins number for the Ducati Panigale V4 R as sold between 2022 and 2026. A cartridge kit changes the part of the fork that actually generates damping and leaves the rest alone.
Key Features
- Spring rate as delivered: 9.5, matched to the Panigale V4 R
- Model-specific fitment for the Ducati Panigale V4 R (2022–2026) — no modification required
- Damper stroke 125 mm
- Fitted spring: Öhlins 04744-95
The Panigale V4 R in Particular
The 2022–2026 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run. Track use raises oil temperature quickly, and a damper that fades takes confidence with it.
Where This Sits in the Öhlins Line-up
Adjustment is by click at the fork tops, in both directions independently. Compression and rebound remain separate, pressurised circuits. Öhlins supplies model-matched springs with the kit.
Construction and Material Quality
Service parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list. Shafts are hardened and surface-treated so the seal has a consistent surface to run against. The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later.
Damping Performance
Öhlins builds it to 743 mm between the eyes for this chassis. 125 mm of stroke is what the Panigale V4 R's linkage allows, and the shim stack is set for exactly that. Öhlins fits a 9.5 spring to this number; riders far from average weight should expect to change it. The fitted spring is 04744-95, and Öhlins lists neighbouring rates under their own numbers. Each fork leg takes one function, so each adjuster has a single, clear effect. Compression and rebound become separately adjustable, which on most standard forks they were not.
Fitment and Compatibility
Öhlins part number FKR 229 is the correct number for the Ducati Panigale V4 R as built 2022–2026. The number is shared with 2 sibling models that use the same mounting and settings, and this listing covers the Ducati Panigale V4 R. Öhlins notes for this application: For the Öhlins FL 974 fork *Replaces FKR 129* Öhlins lists this fitment under the model designations Panigale V4 R (Öhlins FL 974), Panigale V4R (Öhlins FL2402).
Road Approval
Road approval: none for Germany. Öhlins supplies this part without a German type approval for the Ducati Panigale V4 R, which means it is not covered for use on public roads under StVZO. Track and closed-course use only.
Important Notes
- Fits models with the original Öhlins fork only.
Fitting and Setup Service
We are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so the installation does not have to be your problem: we fit and set up Öhlins components in our own workshop. Ask us when you order and we will include the work.
