Optional performance upgrade

SKF Dual Compound Fork Seals

SKF Dual Compound Seal Upgrade

Available for compatible Fox and RockShox forks when booked with either a lower-leg service or a full fork service. SKF Dual Compound seals are designed to minimise friction without compromising sealing and to improve protection against contamination. They replace the standard seals already included in the service.

+£35

Compatibility and availability are confirmed before the service. This is an upgrade price and is not offered as a standalone seal installation.

Choose the right level of work

Which Suspension Service Do I Need?

Routine Maintenance

Choose a lower-leg or air-can service when the suspension still functions correctly but feels dry, sticky or less sensitive, or is due routine maintenance.

Complete Internal Service

Choose a full service for overdue suspension, inconsistent damping, contaminated oil, unusual noises or persistent poor performance.

Setup Rather Than Servicing

If the suspension is mechanically healthy but the bike feels harsh, wallowy or unbalanced, our suspension setup service may be the better option.

Useful information

Suspension Servicing FAQs

Are seals and service kits included?

Yes. Standard seals, the appropriate standard service kit, oils and lubricants are included in the advertised service price.

Do you service eMTB suspension?

Yes. We service suspension fitted to eMTBs as well as standard mountain bikes.

How often should my fork or shock be serviced?

Intervals depend on the manufacturer, model, riding frequency and conditions. If the suspension feels dry, sticky, harsh or inconsistent, it should be inspected even if the stated interval has not been reached.

What details do you need before booking?

Please provide the bike model, suspension brand, fork or shock model, year and serial number where possible. This allows us to confirm the correct parts in advance.

What happens if you find damage?

We explain the fault and obtain approval before fitting replacement components or completing work outside the booked service.

How quickly will the work be completed?

Suspension work is booked into a dedicated workshop slot. Turnaround depends on inspection findings and parts availability, and any delay or additional fault will be communicated clearly.

Where is the workshop?

Torque Collective is in Kelvedon, Essex, supporting riders from Colchester, Witham, Braintree, Chelmsford, Danbury, Maldon and the surrounding areas.
