Fork oil is a specially formulated hydraulic fluid used in the front suspension system (commonly known as the forks) of motorcycles, scooters, and certain bicycles. It plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operation, stability, and comfort while riding. The front forks are responsible for absorbing shocks from road bumps, potholes, and uneven surfaces, and fork oil allows this movement to happen in a controlled and efficient manner.
Fork oil is available in different viscosities (thickness levels), which determine how the suspension responds. Thicker oils provide firmer damping (less fork movement), while thinner oils allow more movement. Riders often choose the viscosity based on their riding style, terrain, and suspension setup.
Purposes of Fork Oil:
- Provides smooth suspension damping
- Lubricates fork components
- Absorbs shocks from road surfaces
- Maintains handling and stability
- Reduces wear and prevents corrosion
Uses of Fork Oil:
- Used in motorcycle front forks
- Suitable for telescopic and USD forks
- Applied during fork servicing or oil change
- Helps in suspension tuning
- Used in scooters, bikes, and some bicycles
Packaging sizes: 175ml, 350ml
