Wilbers forkfedern for BMW R 100 GS 88-96

Product details

Wilbers forkfedern set, progressive, for BMW R 100 GS, type BMW 247 E, model year 88-96, for Paralever, (forköl to be ordered separately), with ABE according to the application list.

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear forkfedern, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport use, we generally recommend a progressive forkfeder to optimise response and, on the other hand, increase bottoming-out reserves. The combination of "Zero Friction" forkfedern with the specially developed Wilbers forköl and adherence to the correct air chamber for the correspondinge vehicle is very important. If desired, individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend Wilbers' very light linear chrome-silicon forkfedern, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the componente to be processed, such as Wilbers forkfedern, 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 create a relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive media, leading to a smoothing of the componentupperfläche through constant rubbing. At the end of the process, a fine, glossy surface is achieved.
For Wilbers forkfedern, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

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

Note: please order the forköl separately.
