SKF offer several motorcycle specific products from fork seals to low friction seal kits in air forks, wheel bearing seal kits and IFP's for shocks. The fork seals are the standout of the range, they have produced a low friction, long life range for fork seals and dust wipers. In some applications there are 2 types, standard and heavy duty, the difference being a double lipped wiper in the heavy duty. Recently a dual compound seal has been introduced in selected models.
This is what MXA magazine had to say about SKF seal and wiper kits:
“The added performance gained by the reduction in friction is icing on the cake. The cake itself is doubling the fork-seal life.”

The shock seal heads are a unique design, also low friction.
