Bitubo Performance Fork Slider Kit

Low friction sliding kit for fronk fork

Smoothness is essential

REDUCE THE FRICTION: the KIT S has been developed to increase the smoothness of the fork.

While braking, the fork deforms (becomes oval-shaped) which increases static friction. The fork friction is high if it is fitted with original bushings and seals, which generally occurs at the initial movement. This happens due to the surfaces pasting . KIT S dramatically decreases this effect, because it decreases static friction as the speed of the fork s movement increases.

Bitubo selects the best bushings placed in Ergal hardware, designed to decrease the static friction of surfaces while the fork is deformed. The only turnkey product to avoid imprecision. Performance is taken to the highest level by combining improved bushings with seals that have a low coefficient of stiction.

Technical features:
  • pair of lower bushings placed inside a ring made of 7075 Ergal, dimensionally precise.
  • pair of rod oil seals, impregnated with a lubricant.


For forks that use original bushings with low performance in the top section, Bitubo offers the KIT 2S with high performance bushings

Technical features:
  • pair of lower bushings placed inside a ring made of 7075 Ergal, dimensionally precise.

KITS003 - Bitubo Performance Fork Slider Kit

Founded in 1963 by Scipione Mardollo, Bitubo has become a household name in the world of damping systems. The company's journey began with a focus on controlling vibrations of any type, but over the years it has expanded its knowledge to other applications such as artificial limbs, seismic dampers, and even damping systems for oceanic platforms. However, it was in the motorcycle market where Bitubo truly made its mark.

In 1975, Bitubo made a breakthrough in the motorcycle industry with the introduction of a pair of shock absorbers connected by two compensating rubber pipes. This innovation not only caught the attention of motorcycle enthusiasts, but also the greatest champions of the time who immediately adopted and raced with these shock absorbers. It was from this design that the company derived its name - Bitubo, meaning 'two tubes' in Italian.

Today, Bitubo remains at the forefront of suspension technology with its high-quality, high-performance products that are protected by international patents. The company's dedication to innovation and its success on the race track have earned it a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy brand among motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. With more than 50 years of experience and a constant drive to improve, Bitubo is set to continue its legacy as a pioneer in the control of vibrations and damping systems.
