Common questions
Does this fit my 2023+ Softail?
No, this NIX 22 cartridge kit is specifically engineered for 2018-2022 Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Softail models. Newer model years may require a different part number or kit.
Can I adjust compression and rebound on the fly?
Yes, the NIX 22 features external adjustment knobs for both compression and rebound damping, as well as preload adjustment, allowing for quick and easy tuning without tools.
Do I need fork oil or seals when installing?
The cartridge kit is a drop-in replacement for the internal damping components. However, you will need new fork oil, and it is highly recommended to replace the fork seals and dust wipers as part of a proper installation. Consult Ohlins documentation for specifics.
