Uses a graphite-rich compound with resistance to abrasion, to high temperatures, and more complex lubricants with numerous additives\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003eARI- THE ORIGINAL FORK OIL SEALS, custom-made for your fork\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAriete fork oil seals are different! The quality of their execution is matched by the unique nature of the material used: the carboxylated elastomer known as XNBR.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis compound offers unique characteristics of resistance to abrasion, to high temperatures, and to the complex lubricants with numerous additives, which are used in modern forks as fitted to motorcycles and scooters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reciprocating action of the fork tube against the seal subjects it to a notable degree of abrasion, which is complicated by the heat generated as a result of hydraulic displacement within the fork, plus the friction of the components involved. This mechanical wear and tear leads to accelerated ageing of the rubber which is also obliged to deal with the chemical action of the various additives in the lubricant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOil seals are normally made from a nitrile rubber, known as NBR. This is used because it is cheap, and plentiful, not because NBR is the best material for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAriete technical staff have accumulated 70 years of experience in the rubber industry, and have spent many years looking for a better material for the manufacture of oil seals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the cost of XNBR is almost twice that of NBR, the sophisticated technology used to make Ariete oil seals enables them to be put on the market at highly competitive prices. In this way, the Ariete Customer enjoys the benefits of a very high quality product, which satisfies the most demanding requirements, at a competitive price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARISIL special oil seal lubricant ARI fork oil seals are made from a rubber compound specifically developed to work with the lubricants used in front forks, with all their various additives. This compound is completely different from that normally used for rotating shaft seals, since the physical environment inside a fork with its reciprocating movement, and the specialist lubricants, are completely different. Ariete have designed ARI oil seals with a variety of lip profiles to make them longer lasting, while reducing to a minimum the friction effect against the moving shaft. Over the years, Ariete have discovered the key role of a separating lubricant between the fork tube and the rubber of the oil seal to reduce to a minimum the surface friction, without affecting the function of the oil seal. After exhaustive testing, Ariete have chosen a lubricant which is produced in the USA, and devised specifically as a rubber\/metal lubricant for mechanical components used in the NASA space program. The advantage of this special grease, which they call ARISIL, is that it extends the life of the oil seal, and helps it retain its vital characteristics of flexibility and chemical resistance. For this reason, every set of ARI FORK OIL SEALS contains a single dose sachet of ARISIL, sufficient to lubricate the two oil seals supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer Part No. (MPN):\u003c\/b\u003e ARI.021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/b\u003e 8051513535468\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable class='\"attributesSpecification\"'\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eHeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eInside Diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e38\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eOuter Dia:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eType:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003eDR3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFitment Summary\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompatible with \u003cb\u003e295\u003c\/b\u003e models (yearly).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class='\"fitmentsummary\"'\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' aprilia models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAprilia:\u003c\/b\u003e AF1 125 Replica, AF1 125 Sintesi, AF1 125 Sport, AF1 125 Sport Pro, AF1 125 Super Sport, ETX 50, ETX 50AE, Pegaso 125, Tuareg 125 Tuareg Wind, Tuareg 125 Tuareg Wind AE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' cagiva models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCagiva:\u003c\/b\u003e Low Rider 125, Mito 125 II 2T, Mito 125 Sport, W8 125 Trail, WMX 125, WRX 125, WRX 1251\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' ducati models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDucati:\u003c\/b\u003e Darmah 900SD, Mille 1000 Hailwood Replica, Mille 1000S2, Mille 1000 S2 Hailwood Replica, SII 900, SS 900, SS 900MHR, SS 900 MHR II, Supersport 900 Carenata, Supersport 900 Nuda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' gilera models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGilera:\u003c\/b\u003e XR2 125AE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' honda models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHonda:\u003c\/b\u003e CR125 RB, CR125 RC, CR125 RD, CR125 RE, CR125 RF, CR125 RG, CR125 RH, XR250 R-E, XR250 R-F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' kawasaki models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKawasaki:\u003c\/b\u003e BJ 250A, BJ 250C1, BJ 250C2, EL 250 Chopper, KDX 200A, KDX 200A B, KDX 250B1, KDX 250B2, KDX 250B3, KDX 250B4, KDX 250C1, KDX 250C2, KDX 250C3, KDX 400, KDX 420A1, KDX 450A1, KL 650 Tengai, KLR 600A1, KLR 600B, KLR 600B1, KLR 600B10, KLR 600B2, KLR 600B3, KLR 600B4, KLR 600B5, KLR 600B6, KLR 600B7, KLR 600B8, KLR 600B9, KLR 650A10, KLR 650A11, KLR 650A3, KLR 650A4, KLR 650A5, KLR 650A6, KLR 650A7, KLR 650A8, KLR 650A9, KLR 650B2, KLR 650B3, KLR 650B4, KLR 650C1, KLR 650C2, KLR 650C3, KMX 200A, KX 125A6, KX 125A7, KX 420A1, KX 420A2, KX 80L1, KX 80L2, KX 80L3, KX 80R1, KX 80R2, KX 80R3, KX 80R4, KX 80R5, KX 80R6, KX 80R7, KX 80R8, KX 80R9, KX 80W3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' loncin models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLoncin:\u003c\/b\u003e DM 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' moto guzzi models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoto Guzzi:\u003c\/b\u003e California 850T5, Nevada 350, Nevada 750, Nevada 750 Club, SP 1000II, V35 350TT, V65 650TT, V75 750, V75 750 Strada, V75 750 Targa, VT 650TT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' moto morini models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoto Morini:\u003c\/b\u003e Camel 50, Camel 500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' suzuki models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuzuki:\u003c\/b\u003e PE 175T, PE 175X, PE 175Z, RM 125C, RM 125D, RM 250C, RM 250N, RM 250T, RM 250X, RM 250Z, RM 400N, RM 400T, TS 250X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' yamaha models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYamaha:\u003c\/b\u003e FZX 700 Fazer, IT 175J, IT 175K, IT 250H, IT 250J, IT 400C, IT 400D, IT 400E, IT 400F, IT 465H, IT 465J, TDR 2503CL, XT 550J, XT 550K, XT 550L, YZ 125H, YZ 125J, YZ 125K, YZ 250D, YZ 250E, YZ 250F, YZ 250G, YZ 465D, YZ 465E, YZ 465F, YZ 465G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ariete","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57714028970366,"sku":"1800260","price":13.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9191\/9742\/files\/forkseal_01_7373eae3-80b6-4430-89a6-4932c03df3af.jpg?v=1784734487","url":"https:\/\/www.motobench.co.uk\/products\/1800260-ari-021-pair-of-fork-oil-seals-38-x-50-x-10-5-tc4","provider":"MotoBench","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
