Motorcycle Fork Cartridge Rod Oil Seals

An internal damping cartridge cylinder sits in the middle of the outer case tubes inside most oil filled motorbike front forks. The suspension fluid can either be shared with the rest of the fork leg, or can be separately sealed - read more in our Closed vs Open Chamber Forks technical article.

Inside each cartridge insert slides a rebound rod, so sealing oil between the two needs to be one of these flexible lipped viton shaft seals, sometimes with a back-up ring. These rubber bands are often held safely in place at the top & bottom of the cartridge pipes inside machined alloy seal case heads.

If your bike's stock fork cartridges aren't good enough from the factory, we also offer DIY drop in aftermarket performance with a set of fully compression & rebound adjustable fork cartridges.
Then you can use your new fork comp & reb adjusters to the fullest, fine tuning your damping setup for different terrains, by reading our motorbike suspension clickers guide.
