Why is light weight fork oil used?

0

By using light weight fork oil the customer doesn’t have to go through complete fork disassembly to increase the hole sizes in the damper rods. The damper rod can stay as they were manufactured and there is no restriction of the flow on compression. Using unforgiving orifices to limit flow on compression is heresy. The goal is to make the square edge bumps feel like they are made out of rubber. That’s exactly how it feels after the installation of Intiminators. You can only get that if you eliminate hydraulic spiking/orficing that cause the sharp jolts. The rebound works great with the light weight fork oil because the compression response is so much better.
