Showa's SFF air forks are designed to provide better front end traction, bump absorption, comfortable stroke, flex balance as well as a more stable and controlled ride.

 

The Forks: 

These forks are a huge step forward in technology, with exclusive state of the art designs providing damping and spring  functions (Air) in separate fork legs, opening up several performance advantages.  SInce the left fork has no spring; the cartridge, pistons and shims are a lot bigger, providing better front end traction, bump absorption and a much more comfortable stroke with less feedback.  The right fork houses two air chambers, each having their own oil volume.  The inside chamber(high pressure), and outside chamber(low pressure) can both be adjusted by changing the pressure and oil volume to achieve the type of performance you require.  Since the damping tasks are taken care of in the left fork, heat build up on the air side is minimal and pressure will stay consistent.  Friction is reduced by 25% and overall weight is substantially reduced (in most cases over 2 pounds).  The forks still feature big 49mm titanium nitrate coated tubes that provide more durability along with a smoother stroke.  The larger internal cartridge system is larger; Kashima coated sealed and pressurized much like a shock.  With larger CNC Machined billet axle lugs and a shorter redesigned outer fork tube, the flex balance is greatly improved. 

 

The Shock:

The Works shock features race inspired details to provide a distince advantage over OEM shocks.  The giant 18mm shock shaft comes standard with an extra large 16mm diameter piston holder, housing the bigger check valve system for more oil control, isolating the compression and rebound stroke and also adding more piston and shim stability.  These features result in a more stable and controlled ride with slightly cooler temperatures.  The 50mm hard anodized Kashima coated body has less friction and reduced heat build up.  For maximum performance and adjustability, the compression assembly separates high and low speed valving circuits and adjusters.

 

 

Features;
* The right fork houses two air chambers, each having their own oil volume.  The inside chamber  (high pressure), and outside chamber (low pressure) can both be adjusted by changing the pressure and oil volume to achieve the type of performance you require.  Using air as a spring results in a much calmer, more "connected to the ground" feel.
* Since the left fork has no spring; the cartridge, pistons and shims are a lot bigger, providing better front and traction, bump absorption and a much more comfortable stroke with less feedback.
* The forks feature 49mm Titanium nitrate coated tubes that provide more durability and a smoother stroke
* Tubes have a durable titanium-nitrate coating which offers a smoother stroke
* CNC machined Billet Axle lugs for increased durability and performance
* Works Showa shock offers a more stable and controlled ride with slightly cooler temperatures
* 50mm hard anodized shock body features Kashima coating to reduce stiction and heat build up
* 18mm shock shaft
* optional turquoise titanium nitrate coating upgrade on both lower fork tubes and shock shaft - additional cost
 
$8,675.00 (Turquise color upgrade $995.95 fork tubes/Shock Shaft $350.00
