The Ohlins FGK218 NIX 30 fork cartridge kit is designed to improve control and feel at the front end of the Yamaha FZ 8. It focuses on delivering more consistent damping behaviour and clearer feedback under braking and through corners. Separate adjustment circuits allow more accurate tuning to suit your riding and conditions.
