Fork seals have two main functions: to keep dirt and contaminants out of the forks & fork oil, plus retaining the oil within the fork. Beyond these basic functions, minimising seal friction provides better suspension performance & ride comfort and ensuring durability gives a long service life. These SKF seals excel in all these areas.
The SKF Oil Seal and Scraper/Dust Cover are made from a new self-lubricating NBR elastomer compound developed to minimise friction and achieve excellent sealing properties. They also feature sealing lip geometry designed especially for motorcycle forks. Off—road scraper/dust covers have a twin-lip design for maximum dirt protection. SKF seals maintain a low and constant friction both on compression & rebound stroke of the forks enabling them to withstand long stroke and high-speed movements. In fact, SKF seals have appreciably lower friction than standard seals, which leads to better suspension response and a smooth ride. See the attached graphs at the bottom of this page to compare the lower frictional forces experienced on SKF seals compared to a standard fork seal.
The design & materials mean SKF Seals have an increased life, enhanced dirt & water protection, and tolerance of UV light- all leading to a long service life. The seal design also reduces wear and air suction. They are compatible with all OE & aftermarket fork oils.
Long-life seals can provide the lowest overall cost, as replacement becomes less frequent. Hence fitting long-life fork seals can be cheaper for high mileage bikes, or where the repair time is longer due to the design of the bike, as the seal cost is small compared to the total repair cost.
We have a comprehensive range covering popular & premium bike brands, both on-road & off. These kits are sold per fork leg, so order 2 sets for a complete fork overhaul.
