Upgrading the forks on your Yamaha YZF-R3 does not have to mean a track-only transformation. The Öhlins NIX 22 Cartridge Kit 21944-01 brings a measurable, everyday improvement to ride quality — sharper response through corners on your morning commute, greater stability at speed on a weekend blast, and a composed, planted feel whenever the road turns unpredictable. This kit is designed specifically for the YZF-R3 (2019–2026) and fits directly into the standard fork legs without radical modification.
Key Features
- 22 mm Öhlins cartridge system delivers precise, consistent damping on both road and track with a notably more refined feel than the standard fork internals.
- Compression damping and its adjuster are housed in the left fork leg; rebound damping and its adjuster sit in the right leg — keeping each circuit independent for clean, predictable tuning.
- All adjustments — including spring preload — are made conveniently at the fork cap, so you can dial in your setup without removing the forks.
- Sold as a pair, ensuring perfectly matched damping characteristics across both legs from day one.
- ABE approval (Germany) included, confirming the kit meets road-legal standards for street use — no paperwork headaches.
- Installation manual included; professional fitting at an authorised Öhlins Service Centre is recommended for best results.
Performance on the Road and Track
The NIX 22 platform uses a cartridge design that separates the compression and rebound circuits, giving you independent control over how the fork compresses into a bump and how quickly it recovers. On the road this translates to a smoother, more absorbent ride over patchy surfaces without sacrificing the precision you need when tipping into a bend. On circuit, the same adjustability lets you fine-tune front-end feel lap by lap. The Öhlins 08428-series springs (ordered separately) and the recommended Öhlins oil 01309 are matched to this cartridge to ensure the entire system works as intended, with a 120 mm air gap specified for correct oil volume.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Öhlins NIX 22 Cartridge Kit 21944-01 is engineered exclusively for the Yamaha YZF-R3 covering model years 2019 through 2026. It carries ABE approval for German road registration. Springs (08428 series) must be ordered separately. For any fitment queries, consult an authorised Öhlins dealer or service centre before ordering.
