The Ohlins FGK221 NIX 30 fork cartridge kit is built to improve front-end control and feel on the Suzuki GSX-R 1000. It replaces key internal damping components to deliver a more composed and communicative response under braking and through corners. Designed for riders who want consistent performance with practical adjustability for different conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the NIX 30 cartridge platform focuses on delivering predictable damping behaviour and clear feedback at the bars. The aim is confidence you can tune, rather than a one-size-fits-all feel.

Who this cartridge kit is for

  • Suzuki GSX-R 1000 riders chasing improved braking stability and mid-corner confidence
  • Spirited street riders who want better front-end communication
  • Occasional track day riders looking for more precise tuning control

Shock design & features
