FRONT FORK ASSEMBLY

The “front fork assembly” refers to the set of components that make up the front suspension system of a vehicle, typically a motorcycle or bicycle. Here’s what it generally includes:

1. Fork Tubes: These are the main structural components of the fork assembly. They are hollow cylindrical tubes that attach to the motorcycle or bicycle frame and hold the front wheel in place.
2. Fork Sliders or Lower Legs: These are the lower portions of the fork assembly that slide up and down the fork tubes to absorb bumps and maintain contact with the road surface. They often contain the fork seals, which prevent dirt and debris from entering the fork tubes.
3. Fork Springs: These are coil or leaf springs located inside the fork tubes. They compress and expand in response to bumps and uneven road surfaces, providing cushioning and dampening to improve ride comfort and handling.
4. Fork Oil: This is the hydraulic fluid that fills the fork tubes. It provides additional damping and lubrication to the fork assembly, helping to absorb impacts and maintain smooth operation.
5. Triple Trees or Triple Clamps: These are the components that attach the fork assembly to the motorcycle or bicycle frame. They typically include the handlebar mounts and provide steering stability.
6. Brake Components: On motorcycles, the front fork assembly often includes brake calipers, brake discs, and associated hardware for braking.
