Öhlins NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 216 for Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (2011–2015)

Whether you spend your weekends on track or cover long miles on the road, the Öhlins NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 216 transforms the front-end feel of your Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R into something you can trust completely — hour after hour, corner after corner. Engineered specifically for the ZX-10R built between 2011 and 2015, this 30 mm cartridge system brings a level of damping precision and chassis stability that the standard fork simply cannot match.

Key Features

• 30 mm Öhlins NIX cartridge system delivers a dramatic improvement in fork stability and damping consistency, whether on track or on the road.
• Compression damping and compression adjuster are housed in the left fork leg, rebound damping and rebound adjuster in the right — keeping each function cleanly separated and easy to tune.
• All adjustments, including spring preload, are made at the fork cap, so fine-tuning your setup requires no special tools and minimal effort.
• 120 mm travel retained for full compatibility with the ZX-10R's original geometry and steering characteristics.
• Compatible springs from the 08790 series (ordered separately), allowing you to select the spring rate that matches your weight, riding style and intended use.
• Supplied with a fitment guide; installation at an authorised Öhlins Service Centre is recommended for optimal results.
• Approved with a Teilegutachten (parts certificate) for use in Germany, so road legality is confirmed from the outset.

Precision Setup, All-Day Confidence

The NIX 30 cartridge concept separates compression and rebound circuits between the two fork legs, a layout that eliminates the cross-talk found in conventional damping rod forks and allows each circuit to be dialled in independently. The result is a front end that tracks faithfully through long, flowing bends and remains composed under hard braking — exactly the kind of all-day assurance that makes the difference between a tiring ride and an effortless one.

Because every adjustment is accessible at the fork cap, you can refine your setup at the trackside or in the garage without removing the front wheel or dismantling the fork legs. Spring preload, compression and rebound are all within reach, meaning a meaningful change in ride quality takes minutes rather than an afternoon.

Build Quality

As with every Öhlins product, the NIX 30 components are manufactured to exacting tolerances. The cartridge internals operate with the consistency Öhlins is renowned for — precise, repeatable and resistant to fade across a full track session or a long touring day alike. The system integrates cleanly with the ZX-10R's existing fork tubes, preserving the original 120 mm stroke and requiring no modification to the front-end geometry.
