Whether due to hard use on bike trails or because the manufacturer's recommended maintenance interval is due: a suspension strut or fork service, including replacement of the sealing rings, is part of the regular maintenance work on sporty bikes and requires special care and the right lubricants.

Friction-reducing additives and further advantages of Suspension Grease

The perfect response behavior of a suspension fork or a suspension strut requires a grease that is specially adapted to the overall system. The new Suspension Grease from Motorex was developed precisely for this task and contains friction-reducing additives that work particularly effectively in combination with high-quality Kashima coatings. It is matched to the elastomers, O-rings, fork oils and surface coatings used and does not adversely affect them.

The additives used significantly reduce the so-called stick-slip effect, which improves the response behavior of the components. The breakaway torque - i.e. the force required to set the fork or shock absorber in motion - is considerably reduced by the grease. This leads to a more even and smoother movement of the fork and shock absorbers, which is particularly advantageous in the case of fast, successive bumps at high speeds. This results in more stable and controlled handling, especially in demanding terrain.

In addition, Suspension Grease is highly water-repellent and highly resistant to water washout and oxidation. The effect: thanks to the optimum seal, the oil circuits in the fork or suspension strut remain cleaner and ready for use for longer. The new Suspension Grease therefore contributes to both the optimum function and long-term value retention of a suspension fork.

Suspension Grease for the assembly of sealing rings in suspension forks and shock absorbers is part of the "Workshop" range of the Motorex Bike Line. It was developed specifically for experts such as professional mechanics and bike enthusiasts with experience in maintenance. The semi-synthetic special grease meets the requirements of DIN 51502, KP2G-30 and NLGI 2 and can be used at temperatures from -30 to 110 degrees Celsius.
