Description
Maxima Fork Fluid: Precision Lubrication for Demanding Suspension Systems
Engineered for aggressive off-road and high-speed on-road cycling, this mineral-based suspension fluid delivers unmatched damping consistency across extreme temperature shifts (-30°C to 120°C). Ideal for XC racers (2.5-3.0 wt), enduro athletes (3.5-4.0 wt), and trail riders (4.5-5.0 wt), it maintains optimal film thickness in 29er forks and 160mm+ travel suspension systems under repetitive compression cycles.
Performance Breakdown
✔️ Stiction Eliminator – Proprietary anti-adhesive additive matrix reduces friction by 38% vs standard fork oils (independent lab testing)
✔️ Turbo Durability – Triple-layer anti-wear coating extends fork seal life by 50% in muddy conditions
✔️ Zero Air Lock – Patented defoaming agents prevent air bubbles in damping chambers during 4X race impacts
✔️ Corrosion Shield – Non-acidic formula protects aluminum sliders from saltwater degradation during coastal rides
Application Spectrum
✓ Full-suspension mountain bikes (120-200mm travel)
✓ Gravel/adventure rigs with dual air spring forks
✓ E-bike shock systems requiring thermal stability
✓ Vintage race bikes needing OEM-compatible viscosity

Optimized for Shimano XTR, Fox Factory Series, and RockShox Pike forks operating in mixed terrain conditions. The synthetic-mineral hybrid base ensures compatibility with both open bath and sealed cartridge dampers while resisting shearing forces encountered in World Cup-level downhill courses.
For racers seeking podium consistency: This fluid’s 0.3% annual viscosity drift rate outperforms leading synthetics by 200% in long-term retention testing (Maxima Engineering Lab Q3 2023).
