The Ohlins FKS225 NIX 22 fork cartridge kit is designed to improve front-end control and feedback on the Honda CBR500R. It focuses on delivering more consistent damping behaviour through braking and corner entry, with adjustments that let you tailor feel to your riding. The result is a calmer, more communicative front end for spirited road use and track days.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins fork cartridge kits are built around stable damping performance and clear rider feedback. The FKS225 applies that approach to the CBR500R by improving composure and support where the standard fork can feel vague or inconsistent.

Who this kit is for

  • Riders chasing better braking stability and corner-entry confidence
  • Owners who want a more planted front end for spirited street riding
  • CBR500R riders doing occasional track days who need more adjustability and consistency
