Huile à fourche... quoi choisir ?

Voici une table de comparaison des différents produits d'huile à fourche et d'amortisseur trouvé sur le site http://www.transmoto.com.au/enduro/products/7799233/Comparative-Oil-Weights-Table. Étant donné la faiblesse de la norme SAE quant à la viscosité des huiles, une 5w peut réagir comme une 7.5 W. Ceux qui ont concus ce tableau ont utilisés l'échelle Centistroke à 40 degré celcius et 100 degré celcius afin de comparer les différents produits. Avec ce tableau, il est dorénavant plus facile de choisir une huile de remplacement.

Comparative Oil Weights Table

Buying the right oil for your bike is very important as it can effect performance and the amount of wear-and-tear your bike receives. So what oil should you use in your suspension? Most suspension units use approximately a 5Wt (SAE). But, due to the international SAE standard being so loose, one oil company's 5Wt can be the same viscosity as another's 7.5Wt.
Here's a really nerdy table that uses the much tighter Centistoke (Cst) testing scale, so we can compare brands with accuracy. Want to know more about oils, suspension components and your options? Check out www.teknikmotorsport.com
