The Ohlins FKS227 NIX 22 fork cartridge kit is developed to improve front-end feel and stability on the Honda CBR500R. It focuses on more controlled damping and clearer feedback at the tyre contact patch, especially under braking and through mid-corner load changes. Adjustment is provided to help tailor the fork response to your riding style and conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins cartridge kits are built around consistent damping control and predictable support. The aim is improved confidence through better communication from the front end, without compromising everyday rideability.

Who this cartridge kit is for

  • CBR500R riders wanting improved braking stability and front-end feedback
  • Street riders looking for better control through corners
  • Occasional track-day riders who want more precise front suspension tuning

Shock design & features

  • NIX 22 fork cartridge kit for the front fork
  • Premium internal components aimed at consistent performance and durability
  • Designed to improve mid-corner feel and stability under braking

Is it right for you?

If you want more stable braking behaviour and clearer feedback at the bars, this kit is a suitable option. Riders who prefer a simple, fixed setup with no adjusters may not need the added tuning range.

Before you install

This is an internal fork cartridge upgrade and should be installed and set up by a qualified suspension technician. A correct baseline setup is important to get the intended control and feel.
