Generally speaking, if you are using the same brand of fork oil and go from a 5w brand X to a 10w brand X in the dampers, you will increase damping resistance with the heavier oil as compared to the lighter oil. We will be using and recommending Juice Lubes products to all our customers from now onâ€. Viscosity around the fork oil industry isnt exactly 'standardized'.

Performance has been verified by UK suspension experts K9 Industries (Head man at K9 Luis Arraiz had this to say â€œThe oils worked flawlessly and consistently across a wide temperature range. Luckily Juice Lubes range of fully synthetic suspension fluids are completely blendable for precise tuning of your system. So it doesn't really make sense that a 90kg rider will probably be using the same weight oil in his forks as 70kg rider yet this is generally what happens. The weight/viscosity of the oil makes a big difference to how your forks will behave in the same way that your riding weight does as well.

Centistokes (cSt)is the accurate unit of viscosity measurement, and the link, above, has an awesome chart displaying cSt’s for quite a few brands.
