Its gold outer tubes are a signature of Öhlins race pedigree — and behind that finish lies serious, adjustable technology drawn directly from national Superbike championship competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 mm cartridge kit developed for and proven in national Superbike championships, delivering exceptional damping consistency over extended riding sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent compression and rebound adjustment allows precise tuning to suit rider weight, preference and road or track conditions — eliminating the vague, one-size-fits-all feel of the stock Showa unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e740 mm total length and 120 mm of travel preserve the Panigale 899's geometry while unlocking a vastly superior ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10.0 N\/mm spring rate (part 04744-10, 04744 series) calibrated for the 899's weight class and intended road-track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 mm air gap fine-tunes progression and bottoming resistance without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold anodised outer tubes signal genuine Öhlins Racing heritage and complement the Panigale's aggressive Italian styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for All-Day Comfort and Precision\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the FGRT 231 from budget aftermarket alternatives is the quality of feel it maintains hour after hour. The 30 mm cartridge internals respond consistently whether you are threading a familiar back road on a Sunday morning or pushing hard through a technical circuit section for the tenth consecutive lap. Compression and rebound circuits work independently, so you can dial in a plush initial stroke for mid-corner comfort while retaining the firm support needed under hard braking — a combination rarely achievable with the factory fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad and Track Versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FGRT designation — Road and Track — is not marketing language; it reflects how the cartridge is valved. Compliance over road imperfections reduces hand and wrist fatigue on longer rides, while the high-speed damping remains composed under the abrupt loads of circuit riding. The 04744-series spring delivers a linear, predictable rate that suits a wide range of riding styles without requiring a spring swap for most rider weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Öhlins FGRT 231 is a direct replacement for the original Showa fork fitted to the base Ducati Panigale 899.
