SKF DUAL COMPOUND
Description
The SKF fork seal kit for mountain bikes has been developed to provide low friction during operation and maximum ground contact for the ultimate riding feeling. The kit is suitable for all high-end mountain bike forks and is made of the same self-lubricating compound used for superior motorcycle sealing applications. It consists of two integrated oil seal-dirt scrapers, crush washers and impregnated foam rings
MTB fork seals are a vital protective part of the overall front suspension system, with a crucial impact on riding comfort and trouble-free operation in the harshest environments.
This completely redesigned fork seal - adding on to SKF's well established fork seals range that has already been available on the market for more than 10 years - consists of newly developed rubber compounds and new geometries for both the scraper lip and the sealing lip.
The co-molded combination of compounds, together with improved sealing lip properties, offers enhanced followability on the shaft. In addition, there is a new metal insert and an open wound spring on the dirt scraper lip, effectively preventing the ingress of contaminants.
Benefits of the dual compound fork seals are:
• Extended sealing capability
• Improved contamination exclusion
• Reliable protection of the interior fork mechanism
• Minimum friction for enhanced vehicle control
Our Dual Compound fork seal kits come along in a custom-made color style and are available in various dimensions for high-end MTB forks.
