The Japanese manufacturer Yamaha, well renowned for its motorcycles and the<\/strong> <\/a>relentless pursuit of engineering perfection. Has put maximum effort into designing and manufacturing these products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are packed with sophisticated technology and offering a wide range of adjustability and track-oriented features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new \u00d6hlins FGRT forks and TTX shock provide a world-class solution for riders racing in championships such as WSBK and World Supersport and anyone who enjoys track riding.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as is the norm with most things, the stock version of the Yamaha YZF-R3 quickly become boring to ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many owners have swapped out their OEM components with parts from various aftermarket brands to alleviate this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While some merely upgrade the suspension and braking components<\/strong><\/a>. Others opt for different wheels and tires or just a complete re-spray of their ride.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever may be the case, one thing is sure: with the stock motorcycle being so popular.W wide range of aftermarket products exist for it.A fact that will most definitely help you suit up your Yamaha R3 even further.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ohlins components<\/h2>\n

You don’t have to spend a fortune on advanced suspension systems to make your Yamaha R3 perform like a proper sports bike. But you do have to pay one on its \u00d6hlins NIX 22 and STX 46 front forks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0It is serious performance stuff that can shave off fractions of a second from lap times. But with the excellent engineering that underpinned the system, it won’t take away from the rider’s comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u00d6hlins NIX 22 cartridge kit is designed to address the shortcomings of the stock front suspension components of the Yamaha YZF-R3. After experiencing the benefits of the \u00d6hlins product.<\/span><\/p>\n

I certainly wouldn’t mind paying out of my pocket for an upgrade. But getting these directly<\/strong><\/a> with the R3 is a great deal. The kit retails at 653.86 Euros ($772 ).<\/span><\/p>\n

The rear \u00d6hlins unit is quite similar to the front in terms of adjustments offered. Like the front, you’ll be adjusting rebound and compression damping with knobs on the side of the mono-shock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjustment is also made externally at the same nitrogen canister\/reservoir setup found on the front shock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, unlike the STX 46 fork, ride height is adjusted with an externally<\/strong> <\/a>threaded rod instead of a separate fork tube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It allows for more precise adjustments when dialling in your suspension settings for both street and track use. Pricing for this rear shock starts at 988.06 Euros ($1,165).<\/span><\/p>\n
