Motorex Racing Fork Oil 15W 1L

As the old saying goes when it comes to mountain bike suspension there's more than one way to dig for money — or in this case tune a fork. Oil springs and shims all can be mixed and matched to change your fork's ride characteristics. Motorex Racing Fork Oil is a terrific option for riders looking to change the feel of their suspension fork or simply replace old fork oil. Oil serves two purposes in a suspension fork. First it controls the movement of the wheel when it hits bumps — we call this damping. Second the oil provides lubrication for the fork's internal parts protecting against friction and corrosion. And by changing the weight (viscosity) of your suspension fork's oil you can alter how it performs on the trail. Higher weight oils (10W and 15W) are thicker — they increase the fork's damping providing slower movement over bumps in the trail. On the other hand lighter lower viscosity oils (2. 5W 5W and 7. 5W) decrease a fork's damping. Motorex Racing Fork Oil features Low Friction Technology that prevents foaming and corrosion while treating and protecting the fork's seals. It comes in a 1L bottle enough for several applications.
