Suspension Sag Diagnosis & Geometry Status
Enter your extended, static, and rider measurements on the left (or select a preset) to compute exact sag percentages and spring preload recommendations.
Factory Fluid StandardDirect Spec
Motorex Racing Fork Oil 4W (1 Liter)
Formulated with anti-foam agents and shear-stable viscosity index improvers to prevent damping fade under aggressive riding heat.
Fork & Dust Seal KitExact Stanchion Fit
SKF 48mm WP Dual-Compound Fork & Dust Seal Kit
Features directional triple-lip rubber seal profile and external garter springs engineered to withstand heavy stanchion flex without weeping.
Air-Gap Tuning PhysicsBottoming Control
WP XACT Air Pressure (2020–2023 AER): 9.6 bar (139 PSI) cold | 2024+ Closed-Cartridge Spring: 4.2 N/mm
Trapped air column acts as a progressive spring in final 30% of stroke. Adding +5mm oil increases bottoming resistance without stiffening small bump compliance.
