SKF fork bushings optimize suspension performance, providing a smoother and more controlled ride even in the most extreme conditions.\u003cbr\u003eInnovative Materials for Maximum PerformanceSKF fork bushings combine the mechanical strength of steel with the low-friction properties of the PTFE layer, ensuring exceptional durability and efficiency. Their three-layer construction design ensures top performance:Steel Backing – Provides high structural integrity and features a copper coating to prevent corrosion, extending the component's lifespan.Intermediate Bronze Layer – Creates a strong bond between the backing and the PTFE sliding surface, improving heat dissipation during operation.Sliding PTFE-based Layer – Reduces friction and ensures smooth movement for a more responsive suspension. After a short break-in period, the PTFE coating on the contact surface optimizes smoothness and wear resistance over time.\u003cbr\u003eBenefits of SKF Fork Bushings? Maintenance-free – No lubrication required? Reduced friction – Minimizes stiction (static friction), improving fork response under lateral loads.? High load capacity – Withstands heavy stresses, offering superior mechanical strength.? Stability across a wide temperature range – Delivers consistent performance in all environmental conditions.? Dimensional precision and minimal clearances – Enhances fork alignment and feel.? Quick identification – Dimensional markings for easy selection and installation. Complete Fork Bushing Kit for Full Suspension ServiceSKF fork bushings are available in a convenient kit for the complete service of a single fork leg.Enhance your suspension performance with the SKF PTFE Fork Bushing Kit! Trust SKF PTFE composite fork bushings for a more reliable, high-performing, and long-lasting suspension system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow frictional properties under side load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh load carrying capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability at wide operating temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall operating clearance for improved guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand: \u003c\/strong\u003eAthena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number: \u003c\/strong\u003eVKWA-MAR50-A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 350 ENDURO 4T 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 498 ENDURO 4T 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 525 ENDURO 4T RACING 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 250 2 Stroke ENDURO 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 250 Race Edition ENDURO 2T 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 450 Cross Country ENDURO 4T 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR 450 Race ENDURO 4T 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA RR-Race Edition 350 ENDURO 4T 2005-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati 1299 Panigale 2015-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Diavel 1200 2010-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Hypermotard 1100 2007-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Hypermotard 1100 EVO 2010-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP 2010-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Hypermotard 1100 S 2007-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna CR125 2007-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna TC250 2006-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna TC450 2006-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna TE450 2006-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna TE510 R 2006-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna TE510 2006-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna WR125 2007-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna WR250 2007-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna WR300 2007-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta Brutale 1090RR 2010-2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta Brutale 910R 2005-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta Brutale 910S 2005-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta Brutale 990R 2008-2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta Brutale RR 1078 2008-2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta Brutale S 750 2005-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta F4 1000 AGO 2005-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta F4 1078RR312 2010-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta F4 SPR 1000 2005-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta F4 SPR 750 2003-2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta F4 Tamburini 1000 2005-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMV Agusta F4R 312 2006-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN125 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN144 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN250 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN250F 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN300 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN450F 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM EN530F 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX125 2007-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX144 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX250 Fi 2007-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX250 2007-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX300 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX450F 2007-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM MX530F 2007-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMM125 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMM530F 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMR125 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMR450F 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMR530F 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMX450F 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTM SMX530F 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Image is for reference only, actual product may vary slightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159770161231,"sku":"VKWA-MAR50-A-ATHENA-0426-ATH","price":44.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/7120\/7759\/files\/VKWA-MAR50-A_ebfea75f-8f79-4423-8198-858a57632ce4.jpg?v=1777656854","url":"https:\/\/lionparts.com\/products\/athena-skf-fork-bushing-kit-vkwa-mar50-a","provider":"Lionparts Powersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
