Maxima Synthetic Racing Shock Fluid 3w 1 Quart - V-Twin Motorcycles
About Maxima
Maxima Racing Oils has blended lubricants in California since 1979 and supplies factory race teams across powersports. Its V-twin oils are formulated for the shared-sump and air-cooled realities of American engines.
Maximize your V-twin's suspension performance with Maxima Synthetic Racing Shock Fluid 3-weight. This full-synthetic, ester-based damper oil is engineered to racing specifications, providing consistent damping across extreme temperature swings.
Why riders pick this
- Full-synthetic ester-based formula
- Reduces friction, stiction, and foaming
- Maintains damping across extreme temperatures
- Shear-stable, ultra-high viscosity index
- Conditions seals and prevents corrosion
High-performance V-twin suspensions demand a fluid that can withstand the rigors of aggressive riding and varying conditions. Maxima's advanced additive package in this 3-weight shock fluid significantly reduces friction and stiction, allowing your shocks to react more smoothly. It also minimizes foaming and air entrainment, which are common causes of inconsistent damping, ensuring your suspension performs reliably when you need it most.

Common questions
What is the recommended viscosity for my V-twin motorcycle shocks?
Shock fluid viscosity requirements vary by shock manufacturer and specific application. Always consult your shock manufacturer's specifications or service manual to determine the correct weight for your setup.
Can this fluid be used in any type of V-twin motorcycle shock?
This Maxima Synthetic Racing Shock Fluid is designed for V-twin motorcycle shocks. However, it's crucial to confirm compatibility with your specific shock type and ensure the 3w viscosity meets its requirements.
What are the benefits of a full-synthetic shock fluid?
Full-synthetic, ester-based fluids like Maxima's offer superior temperature stability, reduced friction, and enhanced resistance to foaming and shear breakdown compared to conventional fluids, leading to more consistent damping performance.
