DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Öhlins NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 235 is an engineering-led fork upgrade built to exacting standards for the Yamaha YZF-R1 RN32/RN49 (2015–2019). Machined from premium materials and assembled to Öhlins' renowned tolerances, this 30 mm cartridge system replaces the factory internals with componentry that genuinely transforms front-end feel — on track or on the road.
Key Features
- 30 mm cartridge design delivers a substantial step up in fork rigidity, damping consistency and overall chassis stability compared to the stock setup
- Compression damping and its adjuster are housed in the left fork leg, while rebound damping and its adjuster sit in the right leg — separating the two circuits for precise, independent tuning
- All adjustments, including spring preload, are made conveniently at the fork cap — no tools buried deep in the leg required
- 120 mm of stroke engineered specifically for the RN32/RN49 geometry, preserving correct ride height and steering geometry
- Compatible springs from the Öhlins 08790 series are available separately, allowing you to select the rate best suited to your weight and riding style
- Installation guide included as standard; for best results Öhlins recommends fitting by an authorised Öhlins Service Centre
Build Quality and Premium Materials
Öhlins have built their reputation over decades of Grand Prix and World Superbike competition, and the NIX 30 reflects that heritage at every level. The cartridge bodies, pistons and adjuster internals are machined to tight tolerances, ensuring the damping curves remain consistent across the full stroke — whether you are scrubbing speed at the end of a long straight or picking up the front through a technical section. The adjuster hardware is designed to hold its setting under vibration, so your chosen compression and rebound figures stay exactly where you set them.
Performance on Road and Track
Separating compression and rebound circuits between the two fork legs is a layout proven in top-level motorsport. It eliminates the compromise inherent in combined-circuit cartridges and lets you dial in each characteristic independently. The result is a front end that is composed under hard braking, responsive on turn-in and planted through mid-corner — qualities that make the RN32/RN49 significantly easier to ride quickly and confidently over any distance.
