Product details
BITUBO fork slide kit for original forks, consisting of 2 slide bushes and 2 shaft seal rings, for Aprilia Tuono 1000 Type: RP, Tuono 1000R / Factory Type: RR and RSV1000 Type: ME and RPGeneral description
The Kit S was developed to reduce fork friction. The smooth sliding of the fork is absolutely necessary during brake, as the forces involved, due to exponentially increasing friction, can cause the fork tube to twist. An original fork equipped with Kit S is consistently smoother and provides the rider with improved feedback on the front wheel during hard brake and corner entry.Sliding vs. Stiction:
The KIT S significantly reduces "stiction" of the surfaces during high break-away moments and at the point of initial force application, allowing the fork to react more quickly and finely.
Kit S contains
A pair of slide bushes for the outer tube of the fork with a special anti-friction coating. These bushings are each embedded in a 7075 aluminium ring, which is dimensionally calibrated to ensure perfect interaction between the piston and the lower fork tube.
A pair of seals between the piston rod and the sealing cap, with novel sealing edges and innovative self-lubricating processing, which significantly reduces friction.
