Elevate your Harley-Davidson Softail's front-end feel with the Öhlins NIX 30 Street Cartridge Kit — a race-derived fork upgrade engineered specifically for the 2018–2022 Fat Bob (Showa fork). Developed from decades of Öhlins' involvement in top-tier motorsport championships, the NIX 30 delivers unparalleled damping control, improved feedback, and a transformation in how your Softail responds to every road input.
Race-Proven Damping Technology for the Street
The NIX 30 Cartridge Kit replaces your stock fork internals with Öhlins' precision-engineered cartridge system, bringing MotoGP and World Superbike-level suspension technology to your street bike. The result is a front end that tracks more accurately, resists dive under hard braking, and absorbs bumps with a suppleness that factory suspension simply cannot match — without sacrificing the firm, planted feel that confident riding demands.

Who Needs the NIX 30?
The NIX 30 is for the Softail Fat Bob rider who has felt the limits of their stock Showa front suspension — whether that's excessive dive, vague feedback on corner entry, or the unsettled feel of hitting a mid-corner bump. It's also for the rider who simply wants the best front-end feel available for their platform, regardless of where those limits are. At this level of engineering, the NIX 30 is transformative.
