A fork oil is subjected to a very wide range of temperatures, even in normal touring use. In order to provide a consistently smooth fork action at all times, with optimum damping qualities, Silkolene Fork Oils are based on high viscosity index oils to ensure minimal viscosity change throughout the operating temperature range. The SAE figures give a good guide to relative oil viscosities, however, the ISO figures, related to the true viscosity at 40°C, give a more accurate assessment of damping capabilities.
Available in 5 SAE viscosity grades 5W (light), 10W (medium), 15W (intermediate), 20W (heavy) and 30 (extra heavy).
The SAE 10W (medium) is the most suitable for year round use and can be used where SAE 10W-20, ATF, ATF-D, ATF-D2 or D2 oil are specified.
The viscosity grades may be mixed to give precise, predictable suspension and handling characteristics.
