Wilbers fork springs for Bimota KB 2 1983

Product details

Wilbers fork spring set, progressive, for Bimota KB 2, model year 1983 (fork oil please order separately), with ABE according to the 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 sport touring, we generally recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise response and, on the other hand, increase bottoming-out reserves. Crucially, combine 'Zero Friction' fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil and observe the correct air chamber for the respective corresponding vehicle. If desired, individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend the very lightweight linear chrome-silicon fork springs from Wilbers, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through slide grinding:
During slide grinding, the component to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with an abrasive medium specifically designed for this purpose in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container create a relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive medium, leading to a smoothing of the componentupper surface through constant rubbing. The result is a fine, shiny surface.
For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

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

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
