Nitron fork cartridge kit

[skylarblack]

I've seen lots of talk about shocks and forks but cant find much on Nitron fork cartridges. Back when Maxton's one-leg mod was popular, maybe Nitron wasn't available yet? I'm deciding between Nitron and Maxton since I want to go British . I have a 2018 Ducati Scrambler Icon, rear shock feels better than my 2017, but the front still feels off. Any advice?

@skylarblack oh, both Maxton and Nitron are fantastic, they're respected British suspension companies, you can't go wrong with either.
my buddy uses Maxton's and I know that they have a highly customized approach where they build a solution specifically for your weight and riding style.
and I got the Nitron's cartridge kits that are also top tier and are a bit more of a modular, engineered solution

Yeah, the Maxton one-leg mod was the go-to back in the day, but it's not a full cartridge system. It's a solid upgrade for sure, and usually a bit more budget-friendly. But if you want to get the most out of your front end, the Nitron cartridge kit is the way to go. It's a full-on, modern damper with a ton of adjustability. You'll get way more range for dialing in your ride with the compression, rebound, and preload adjustments. Between the two, if you're serious about performance and want the best tuning options, I'd lean towards the Nitron. Both are great British brands like @ColaCraze80 mentioned, but the Nitron is a more comprehensive upgrade in my opinion.

Gotcha, thanks for the breakdown! With the Nitron cartridge kit, did you have to do any custom tuning yourself, or does it come pre-set for a typical rider weight and style?

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying! With the Nitron kit, do you know if its easy to dial in for street use, or is it really more geared toward track performance ?

The Nitron kit definitely comes pre-set from the factory for a typical rider, so it's a great starting point right out of the box and very easy to dial in for street use. You'll just need to make some minor tweaks to get it perfect for your weight and riding style. It's designed to be a top-tier upgrade for both street and track performance, so you won't have any trouble getting it set up for street riding!
