*One oil seal and one dust seal are included in one kit.(Two sets are required for one vehicle) *The height of the oil seal may be lower than the stock one depending on the model. *When selecting a seal, please check the fork manufacturer and fork diameter on the actual vehicle along with the year. The numeric part in the part number corresponds to the fork diameter. *Please contact SKF if your vehicle is not listed in the compatibility chart. * Please check the regulations of the race you are going to participate in regarding the change of fork seals. *This part number is set exclusively for Ohlins in Japan.
The SKF fork seal is now sought after by riders in Europe and around the world for its outstanding performance.The front fork's biggest mission is "smooth operation" and "durability".The SKF fork seal successfully combines these two elements at a high level through newly developed materials and extensive testing.The SKF fork seal overturns the conventional wisdom of fork seals.The next generation standard for Japanese riders now.
■Suspension TunerOne more step toward the highest ideal Suspension tuners are always aware of the need to reduce friction.Friction has a major effect on the handling of the bike itself, such as chattering.Ideally, friction "zero".However, it is impossible to achieve it, and it is the mission of the tuner to bring it as close to "zero" as possible, and always keep putting effort into it.SKF fork seals quickly and significantly reduce friction by simply replacing the seals.Another step closer to the ideal suspension tuner.
■SUPER LOW FRICTION Super Low Friction The SKF fork seal has an extremely low friction because the seal material itself has a very high lubricity.Compared with the OEM seal, the friction can be reduced by 25%-45% on chrome-plated surfaces and by 75% on hard-coated surfaces such as titanium coating.Normally, the fork seal keeps repeating the Stick-Slip phenomenon (slipping and catching).However, the SKF seal is almost free from the Stick-Slip phenomenon.As a result, the friction is constant, the fork strokes accurately and smoothly, and the rider can feel a more linear action.
■LONG LIFE High durability Durability is generally considered to be in conflict with low friction.This was because the seals themselves relied on fork oil and seal grease for lubrication, and the tightening of the seals had to be minimized to obtain low friction.In other words, low friction is associated with loose seals.However, the SKF fork seal has low friction without sacrificing durability because the seal material itself has very high lubricity.The seals have been developed through bench tests of one million cycles, 10 hours of bench testing under adverse conditions such as muddy conditions, and 50 hours of no-maintenance motocross testing, and have achieved a high level of durability that overturns the image of conventional fork seals.In addition, a high protection seal for off-road use is also available, which is designed for even worse conditions, for ultimate durability.SKF fork seals were supplied to the 2012 KTM series on an OEM basis.It is one of the proofs of high reliability and performance.(For maximum durability, it is recommended that SKF seals be replaced as a set of oil and dust seals, and a set of oil and dust seals constitutes one kit.)
■TECHNIX Impressions Technix has been testing the SKF Fork Seal since last fall.It has been tested in the All Japan Motocross and MCFAJ Motocross with its reputation of low friction and high durability.Excellent low friction with normal grease, even in coated tubes where seal friction increases unless special grease is used.Of course, even on a normal plating surface, the difference in the operating feel is so obvious that it can be seen even during assembly.The durability of the seal is more than twice as high as that of the OEM seal in our test.No leaking seals for about 10 months without maintenance even after severe muddy and sandy races and practice.And I don't dare to take any special care.It is no wonder that our fellow suspension tuners praised the durability of the OEM seals in the WGP team tests.The KTM250SXF, which often had oil leaks, was solved at once by changing to SKF seals!Low friction and high durability.The seal Technix has been looking for is finally here.The price is rather high compared to OEM, but the durability and performance are high, so it is definitely a recommended product.
■SKF Fork Seal vs OEM Fork Seal Comparison Movie
You can see that the SKF fork seal (TECHNIX sticker) on the left side is much smoother than the OEM on the right side.This is a testament to the super low friction performance of the fork, which allows the fork to operate smoothly and follow the road surface precisely and smoothly during driving."In order to test the friction of the seal, both seals do not contain any oil or grease.Tested in dry conditions.The SKF seal itself is highly lubricated, so the difference in operating feel is obvious.
When we were considering using OEM and other brand products for overhauling the Fork, we decided to use the following methods SKF Seal is in sight and another vehicle with an OEMSFK, so the Fork subject to OH I bought it to try SKF The car used is Ducati 1198s with OHLINS 43mm KIT (G) Or (B) and whether Dust Seal is Green or Black, − and 43 (O) after 43 (O) is O in diameter is the O in Ohlins
The Seal of SKF is often heard to have leaked, but there was a little bit of oil left in it after assembly It blurred even if I let it blur or stroked The blotting disappeared when I moved it around and wiped it off, so it doesn't seem to be leaking right after its installation It is expected to be durable
The Friction story is a free fall of the Outer tube with OEMSeal and SKFSeal I feel like it's better than the OEM, as I've measured the speed But I don't know how much effect it has on the actual running, because I haven't run it yet I also changed the oil from OEM to Yamaha's M1 It's highly doubtful that you can feel the difference in Seal
As others have said, the price is high, so I'm not talking about Friction loss, but Green I can see the Dust Seal of Light, but I think that's the effect (Lol)View Detail
