  Description

BMW nineT: Carpi Moto, in collaboration with Matris, has developed a specific suspension kit.
Having purchased the nineT, we drove the winding roads and scenic highways of Liguria. At first glance, the suspension was not up to the bike, especially if you consider the price range at which BMW sells this Café Racer.
The fork and steering damper do not, in fact, offer any adjustment, and the rear mono shock absorber is the typical basic OEM shock.
The road test confirmed our suspicions: before changing or adding accessories on your nineT, you need to upgrade the suspension.

Forks:  The main problem is that they have no hydraulics. It is possible to adjust the spring preload, but in practice you cannot adjust anything. All the work is done by the fork springs. When you brake, the forks compress all the way, and you feel the roughness of the asphalt. The front wheel does not absorb the road like it should, making your ride less pleasant, and leaving you with the feeling that something is not perfect but there is no way to change or improve it.
We have therefore developed a fork cartridge kit that will provide the adjustability of a high-end set of forks.
The road test with the upgraded forks has proved us right: now the front wheel is firmly planted on the road, the turn-in and cornering are significantly better, and the vibrations are practically non-existent. This Matris fork cartridge kit offers the same quality as the best aftermarket complete forks.
Update February 2015: we have introduced a new upgrade to the cartridge adding a Sport version which has a +15mm stroke, also we have installed the fork not leaving any mark, the result is a bit more handling and less load on the front.

Steering Damper: Why would the nineT require a steering damper? Our opinion is that the front will lighten too much at high speeds. Exceeded 140 km/h, air is felt on the chest and the helmet, the rear OEM shock compresses, and the front wheel raises. Therefore, in the case of head-shake or vibrations, it is essential that the steering damper keeps the handlebar firm. Over 200 km/h you must hold on tight and say a prayer (we arrived at 220 km/h and then let off the gas). Unfortunately, the stock steering damper is not able to counteract the vibrations. You need a professional product like Matris. On our bike we installed the top of the range: the Matris SD-R. Adjusted properly, we got the correct set up and are driving in complete safety with a big margin.

Mono Shock: The stock shock works directly on the swingarm without any linkage. It's the classic, cheap OEM shock, and it is not rebuildable.
We asked Matris to produce a compact, high-performance shock absorber, which would be fully adjustable. The Matris engineers exceeded our request. Their shock settings include : High- and Low-speed compression, height adjustment, rebound damping, as well as integrated hydraulic spring preload.
All adjustments are easily accessible and customizable. The system is so compact, there are no nitrogen chambers or knobs attached to the frame of the bike, and the rear frame can still disassembled as per the nineT style. We also changed the color of spring to silver so it would match perfectly with the swingarm and the nineT spirit. (You can also order the spring in other colors.)
The Matris shock does not include a mud guard, but we were able to re-used the stock mud guard. Please note this work should be done by a suspension workshop only and requires a specific tool.
The road test with the Matris shock was exciting. The bike now travels like it's on a rail. Out of the corners, on the gas, the rear is no longer pumping, and the tire stays planted to the road. In chronological order, after the fork cartridge kit, this is the modification that we recommend.

  Customer Questions & Answers
Question:
By you mean the sports version, the fork is 15mm higher so it has longer traveling distance on the forks? Does that mean it is more comfort, better handling  for long ride?ThanksMatt
August / 06 / 2015
Answer:
A longer stroke is doesn't mean a longer fork otherwise this will be a fork. It means that the oem fork has a limited stroke, with this cartridge the stroke is 15mm longer. I use this part and I enjoy riding better than the standard stroke.
Question:
 So in terms of performance, it is better than the standard version of matris cartridge? How about comfort for long travel?
August / 07 / 2015
Answer:
In terms of performance it is better than the other also for comfort.
Question:
 you said the sport version give better handling and comfort, what advantage does the regular version have left? It is better to choose 15mm version in anyway correct?
August / 09 / 2015
Answer:
Sport uses 15mm more stroke, it means the fork works for more 15mm, so far more damping and more spring to use. That's why we left no mark on the upper triple tree.When you add stroke to an original fork it means to modify what the manufacturer done, a less stroke is safer when when you drive over an unxepcted hole in the road or if you are not used to feel the fork going down with strong braking (ie for an emergency braking). Adding stroke to a fork is pretty appreciated by expert riders , while could be a problem for beginners, this is the reason why we and Matris named this version "Sport", to be clearly identified as different from regular.
Question:
 HiIm abt 90 kg with gear on, no passengar. What spring rate would you recommend?Tks
September / 14 / 2015
Answer:
I recommend this part without any spring modification
Question:
 Do the cartridges come with springs?
October / 20 / 2015
Answer:
Yes sure springs are included
Question:
 Hi, i'm a bit confused over the 15mm extended stroke, i presume the forks stay in the same position on the clamps which i believe to be 5 rings down on the top clamp.I'm a fair weather rider, ride quite hard and fast where i can, I don't do track days or race the bike, which cartridge set would you suggest?
October / 20 / 2015
Answer:
I use this cartridge on road and I'm now happy to ride with Ninet. Set to 0 rings was a further improve because the engine weight is more balanced between rear and front wheel.This cartridge is built for everyday / every road use, Ninet is not a S1000R or RR for sure.
Question:
 Thanks for the answers, I'm still a little unsure of the positioning of the fork as the PDF shows the same distance on the top fork plate for both the sport and street versions.
October / 21 / 2015
Answer:
The pdf is the official Matris pdf, then I made the move to zero rings on my NineT.
Question:

Question:
 once i changed the inside of the front fork, how many lines should i leave out of the triple clamp? on your pictures you can se 3 1/2 lines out. I weight 93 kilos and i have a clip handle-bar kit bolted under the triple clamp so my wight is further front. Any ideas? how about clicks for compression and for rebound? thank you
September / 04 / 2017
Answer:
Lines: watch the picture, this was my first set up 3 1/2 lines out, then I found that without any lines out I had a better handling therefore my final set was "no lines out" . Furthermore if you have clip ons you shall use the set up without any lines out.
