Product details

Wilbers forkspring kit, linear, for BMW F800R, Type E8ST, model year 09-14, 40 mm lowering, incl. reducing sleeven, (forkoil please order separately), with ABE according to application list.

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers you progressive or linear forksprings, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. In touring and touring sport, we generally recommend a progressive forkspring to optimise responsiveness and increase bottoming resistance. Crucial is the combination of "Zero Friction" forksprings with the specially developed Wilbers forkoil, as well as observing the correct air chamber for the respective vehicle. If desired, an individual setup can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend the very lightweight linear chrome-silicon forksprings from Wilbers, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the component parts to be processed, such as Wilbers forksprings, are located together with a grinding 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 grinding media, and through constant rubbing, lead to a smoothing of the componentuppersurface. At the end of the process, a fine, shiny surface is achieved.
For Wilbers forksprings, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

Each forkspring kit includes a recommendation for the viscosity of the forkoil 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 on the front wheel.

Note: please order the forkoil separately.
