KASHIMA coat on fox suspension? Anyone knows about it?

[ktm505sx]

Hey fox are adding nice coat to their small suspension line up as atv utv bikes a kashima coat that help to improve internal friction and reduce abrassion the suspension body as ussual with the stocks suspension. It will be nice to get an upgrade of kashima coating on stocks suspension

Does this effect shock cooling or something like that?

It will help to reduce friction on the internals valvings, is a 250$ upgrade on their atv suspension. Hope they can make it on their trucks suspension

I have no clue if they are gonna offer it on the truck stuff, but is does look rad in person. Seems like a good option

Looking at it briefly this appears to be an aluminum process and the Raptor 3.0 bodies are steel.

This stuff is used on their mountain bike forks. Its pretty awesome. Interesting to see them bring over to the motorized side of things.

They are impregnating moly disulfide during the anodizing process for lubricity. Moly disulfide is commonly used as a dry film lubricant. On the Fox bike shock, the shaft is aluminum - makes sense to reduce friction on the shaft of a shock. The shaft on our trucks look to be chrome plated steel. I don't see them offering on shock bodies for trucks as it would serve no purpose other than aesthetics.

That being said, this is the first I have heard of this and it is a great idea, for certain applications.

Will work on the internal valving to reduce friction, on the outside to avoid abrassion
