Product Details

Wilbers fork spring set, progressive, for Aprilia ETV 1000 Caponord, Type PS, model year 01- (fork oil please order separately), with ABE according to application list

General Description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear fork springs, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport applications, we usually recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise response and, on the other hand, to increase bottoming-out reserves. Crucially, the combination of the "Zero Friction" fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil is important, as is observing the correct air chamber for the respective vehicle. If desired, individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend Wilbers' very lightweight linear chrome-silicon fork springs, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the workpieces to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with an abrasive media specially adapted for this purpose in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container generate a relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive media and lead to a smoothing of the workpiece surface through constant rubbing. At the end of the process, a fine, polished surface is achieved.
For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means minimised friction = ZERO friction.

Each set of fork springs includes a recommendation for the viscosity of the fork oil and the height of the air chamber in the fork. These values have been determined by experienced Wilbers technicians and ensure optimal riding comfort and feedback at the front wheel.

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
