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.123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/b\u003e 8051513536373\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\"'\u003e55\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eOuter Dia:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eType:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003eTC4\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\u003e113\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 RSV 1000 Mille SP, RSV 1000 Tuono R, RSV 1000 Tuono R Factory, RSV4 1000R, RSV4 1000 R Factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' buell models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBuell:\u003c\/b\u003e RS 1200 WestWind, XB9RR 1340\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' ducati models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDucati:\u003c\/b\u003e 1098 Brembo Evo M50 4-Pist Caliper, 1098R, 1098S, 749R, 999 Superbike, Desmosedicci 989RR, Desmosedicci RR 989 Sport Classic, Multistrada 1000S, Multistrada 1100S, Multistrada 1100 Speciale, Panigale 1103 V4 Speciale, Panigale 1103 V4 Tricolore, Panigale 1103 V4S Corse, Panigale 1199, Panigale 1199S, Panigale 1199 S Tricolore, Streetfighter 1099S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' moto guzzi models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoto Guzzi:\u003c\/b\u003e MGS01 1250 Corsa, V11 1100 Rosso Corsa, V11 1100 Sport Cafe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' mv agusta models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMV Agusta:\u003c\/b\u003e Brutale 1078, F4RR 1000 F312\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' norton models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNorton:\u003c\/b\u003e Commando 961 Cafe Racer, Commando 961 Cafe Racer MK2, Dominator 961, Dominator 961SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' triumph models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTriumph:\u003c\/b\u003e Daytona 675R, Speed 94 105094R, Speed Triple 1050R, Speed Triple 1050RS, Street Triple 675R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ariete","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57714034344318,"sku":"1800850","price":22.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9191\/9742\/files\/forkseal_01_a82deb29-37f7-41a3-94d2-f883de4c7be4.jpg?v=1784734552","url":"https:\/\/www.motobench.co.uk\/products\/1800850-ari-123-pair-of-fork-oil-seals-43-x-55-x-11-tc4","provider":"MotoBench","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
