Friction is reduced by 20% or more compared to standard OEM products!
Also, the durability is greatly improved! Off-road, enduro, road racing, street... SKF covers it all!
SKF has provided technical support to WP Racing for the past few years. WP Racing and SKF have long-term cooperation to provide products and solutions for major events, and have always achieved excellent results. All front forks from MXGP to AMA Supercross and Rallye Dakar - WP Racing are equipped with SKF products. The KTM and Husqvarna field teams were the first to use SKF suspension solutions to meet the extreme needs of factory riders.
Years of technical experience in racing and suspension systems have helped SKF develop high-performance suspension seal kits that are used and trusted by riders around the world. SKF's motorcycle development team in Italy also loves motorcycle sports like many riders, and is also loves downhill bicycles even after work. So when the team talks to other riders and customers, they always have a good idea of what the needs are. And what impact the product improvements will have on the suspension and riding experience.
In 2019, SKF launched a revolutionary product. The composite seal kit composed of two newly developed rubber compounds is the most reliable suspension solution for motocycles.
Since the front forks of the motocross bike is exposed to mud, dust, and ultraviolet rays, the composite seal kit has stronger durability than traditional materials
And optimized the geometry of the oil seal and the dust seal lip, the dust seal frame adopts a new metal material and an open lip spring, which helps to prevent dirt from entering the forks
And like traditional products, composite seal kits still maintain lower frictional resistance
Front fork seal kit developed by SKF Sweden
Consists of an oil seal and a dust seal for maximum durability
Specially developed low-friction nitrile rubber reduces friction by at least 20%
Dramatically increases service life and protection against water and dirt
Low frictional resistance also improves rider comfort
Reduced fork wear and air intake
Compatible with OEM and aftermarket fork oils
Since 2012, it has been adopted as OEM by brands such as KTM, MV-AGUSTA, GASGAS, BETA, etc. It is also used in professional suspension manufacturers such as SHOWA original suspension, OHLINS, WP, NITRON, etc.
Made from SKF's low friction and high durability materials
Friction for smooth travel between the fork outer tube and the front fork guard
This reduces the wear of the fork outer tube
Can be installed and removed without removing the front fork
An innovative out-of-the-box motocross mud solution
Easy installation and removal without removing the front fork
It prevents fork wear and seal damage in extreme muddy conditions
Effectively cleans dry mud from fork rods
Low friction SKF polymer materials
Does not affect fork feedback
Since it is not disposable it can be used multiple times during installation and removal
Prevent oil and air mixing to ensure constant damping effect
Low frictional resistance
Can be custom designed to fit most closed-cartridge fork
Compatible with OEM and aftermarket fork oils
The rear shock seal unit is a part that most manufacturers will not provide
In fact, shock after use in harsh environments places high demands on seals
Optimized back-up ring for oil seal and dust seal lip
New NBR rubber material
Low frictional resistance
Wider applicable temperature (-40 °C to +140 °C)
Better dust resistance for high durability
OEM products for WP and OHLINS
Minimizes power loss from the engine with the lowest frictional resistance
And maximum protection of wheel bearings
Maximum dirt protection through custom design and materials
And resistant to high pressure water washing
It is the best wheel seal solution for off-road motorcycles
Won a five-star award in the US "Motocross Action" magazine
SKF Floating Piston Replaces OEM Piston.No need to replace Reservoir .Made of low friction composite material Two sealing lips fit snugly inside the reservoir for perfect oil and air separation.SKF floats Piston improves shock feedback, and flexible center membrane absorbs high frequency small bumps without piston body movement increasing rear wheel grip time.
