Customers view this as a worthwhile investment, offering a cost effective way to significantly refresh high-end suspension and elevate the overall riding experience.
Know before you buy
The flangeless design simplifies the installation process by removing the outer lip, allowing the wiper to sit flush within the fork casting. This makes it easier to press the seals into place without needing specialized tools to clear a flange.
You must match the kit size to the stanchion diameter of your fork. You can find this measurement by checking your fork's model specifications or using a digital caliper to measure the diameter of the upper tubes.
Yes, by reducing the stiction—or static friction—between the seals and the stanchions, these wipers allow the fork to react more quickly to small bumps and trail chatter. This results in a more supple and responsive suspension feel.
These wipers are designed for specific Fox fork chassis sizes ranging from 32mm to 40mm. Always verify your fork's model year and stanchion diameter to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
Fox recommends replacing your dust wipers whenever you perform a lower leg service, typically every 125 hours of riding or once a year. If you ride in particularly muddy or dusty conditions, you may want to service them more frequently to maintain peak performance.
