Öhlins NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 229 for Ducati Panigale V4 (2025-2026)

Derived directly from Öhlins' Supersport and Superstock World Championship programme, the NIX 30 Cartridge Kit FGK 229 transforms the standard fork on your Ducati Panigale V4 into a precision-tuned race weapon — without replacing the outer fork legs. Whether you are chasing lap times on track or extracting every last tenth on a spirited canyon road, this 30 mm cartridge system delivers a level of damping control and chassis feedback that the factory setup simply cannot match.

Key Features

• World Superbike-derived NIX 30 cartridge technology installed directly into the OEM fork legs — race-proven damping in a road-legal package
• Compression damping and adjustment housed in the left leg; rebound damping and adjustment in the right leg — for rapid, unambiguous setup changes at the circuit
• Spring preload adjustable from the top of the fork — no need to disassemble the legs between sessions
• 120 mm of fork travel retained, preserving the Panigale V4's geometry while dramatically improving response under braking, turn-in and corner exit
• R&T (Road and Track) specification — equally at home on a track day or a demanding road route
• Direct, plug-and-play fitment into the original fork stanchions of the 2025-2026 Ducati Panigale V4

Motorsport Engineering for Your Road Fork

The genius of the NIX 30 system lies in its split-function architecture. By dedicating the left fork leg exclusively to compression and the right exclusively to rebound, Öhlins eliminates the internal interference that plagues conventional cartridge designs. The result is sharper, more consistent damping response — exactly the feedback a serious rider needs to place a Panigale V4 with confidence under extreme braking into a tight chicane or when loading the front through a fast, off-camber sweep.

Every adjustment point is accessible at the top of the fork without the need to remove a wheel or drain oil. At the track this translates to faster, more confident setup iterations between practice sessions, a genuine competitive advantage at any level of racing.

Installation & Spring Selection

The FGK 229 is designed for installation into the stock fork of the Ducati Panigale V4 (2025-2026) and fits without machining or modification to the fork legs. However, given the precision tolerances involved and the safety implications of front suspension work, installation by a qualified workshop is strongly recommended.

Please note: the kit is supplied without fork springs. The appropriate springs from the Öhlins 08790 series must be ordered separately, selected according to rider weight and intended use. Full guidance is included in the installation manual supplied with the kit.

Fitment & Compatibility
