The feel of riding and durability are two decisive factors when designing seals for forks in motorcycles and bicycles. Especially in off-road applications, such as enduro or motocross, the requirements on the sealing are very demanding.  SKF has developed a range of seals with this in mind. Solutions are available for both off-road and on highway use. For motorcycles, the seals come in pairs with a separate oil seal and dirt wiper seal tuned to each other to give low friction for the best riding experience, as well as long life. Features

• An oil seal and a wiper seal to minimize contamination reaching the oil seal

• Specially developed NBR elastomer with lower friction characteristics

• Wiper seal with optional dual lip design for high contamination situations

• New oil seal lip geometry specific to fork seals

Benefits 

• Increased life and performance

• Enhanced water and dirt protection capability 

• Reduced and constant friction over the life of seal

• Much improved ride comfort

• Compatibility with a wide range of OE and aftermarket oils

• Reduced wear and air suction
