The Ohlins FGK201 NIX 30 fork cartridge kit is designed to sharpen front-end control and feel on the Yamaha YZF R1. It focuses on delivering more consistent damping behaviour for better stability under braking and clearer feedback through the corner. Adjustment is built in so you can tune the front end to suit your riding and conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Built around Ohlins cartridge know-how, the FGK201 is aimed at riders who want a more composed and communicative front end without changing the complete fork assembly. It is intended to support confident riding on the road and during track sessions.

Who this kit is for

  • YZF R1 riders chasing improved front-end feedback and stability
  • Riders who brake hard and want a calmer, more controlled front end
  • Street riders who also do occasional track days and want adjustability

Shock design & features

  • Cartridge fork kit developed to improve damping control and consistency
  • Premium internal components aimed at durability under demanding use
  • Designed to deliver a composed, predictable front-end feel

Tuning controls

  • Separate compression and rebound adjustment to fine-tune behaviour
  • Intended to make setup changes straightforward for different riding conditions

Is it right for you?

If you like the YZF R1 chassis but want more confidence from the front tyre during braking and mid-corner, this cartridge kit is a logical next step. If you prefer a fit-and-forget approach with no tuning, an adjustable kit may be more than you need.

Before you install

  • Confirm this kit matches your exact Yamaha YZF R1 model and year
  • Installation and setup should be carried out by a qualified suspension technician
  • Plan to set sag and damping after installation to suit your riding
