RB range of Silicone oils

RB range of Silicone oils

RB have launched its high quality silicone oil range for differentials and shock absorbers. Tests have been carried out on dusty and wet tracks but also on different shock absorbers brands. The result is that these 100% silicone oils remain constant and reach professional quality standards. This very wide range starts from grade 100 until 500000. Big volume shock absorbers have become the most common today so it was necessary to provide a bigger packaging. The large 110ml bottle allows them to decrease production costs in order to maintain a reasonable price for consumables.
