Hevay Fork 20W front fork oil for scooters/motorcycles with upside-down forks
Fork Oil Heavy is a mineral, SAE 20 fork oil for normal road use. This product is suitable for scooters and mopeds with conventional or upside-down forks.
We only sell 20W oil because it provides the best riding performance. Most scooter brands also recommend 20W front fork oil.
Why choose 20W fork oil?
Looking for the right front fork oil for your scooter? Then 20W front fork oil is an excellent choice, especially for models with upside-down (USD) forks. Compared to 5W or 10W oils, 20W offers firmer damping, greater stability, and better performance during sporty riding or heavy loads, such as with two people or aggressive braking. While lighter oils like 5W or 10W can cause bottoming or excessively soft suspension, 20W provides more control and direct, firm handling. Perfect for those who want to get just that little bit more out of their suspension.
