Just wondering which One of these I should pick up to service my Pike with. I never ride in temps lower than 30 degrees farenheit (a little less than 0 degrees celcius) and am very light at 127lbs fully geared for a ride if that makes any difference.
I appreciate the help!

Personally i would go 68, i use 68 in all my suspension, rides great, very slippery! I live in Canada, we def have some hot weather but most the season it's not hot generally, i found 100 little thick and added compression damping.


I do notice at about 7c and cooler it def thickens up compared to 0w30 or 5w30.

I would only use it in the summer, my winter bike i use 0w30

What's the hottest temperature you'll ride? I went from 100k to 68k but I don't ride much if it's hotter than 100.

I'd love to know where you're getting it from in the states...

Yup. Alberta definitely warms up to feel almost like a Florida winter's day for about a week in the middle of summer. Or sometimes just one day. Which will be on a weekend if you're lucky...

I was able to find it from a machine shop a while back but had a minimum order so had to buy a bunch. Which one are you looking for?

Both if possible, Supergliss 68k and 100k.

If you can get 32K and 100K get both, then you’re not limited to one or the other (or 68K for that matter). You can mix them to get viscosities in between their offerings, or match 68K too.

I’ve ridden 32K in 10-7deg C and it felt a bit too light (coming from Gold 20wt), so very active and moving freely but it lost some of that “gentle” touch. I went up to 55K (say 68K) and it felt much better, also riding it at 2-5deg C feels nice. Haven’t ridden it below freezing.

If you’re limited to 68 or 100, and want to buy only one year round oil then I’d go for 68K. Consider using one bath oil for winter and a different one for summer, it’s not that crazy to do a lower leg service every 6 months.

I appreciate the feedback! Sounds like the 68k is the way to go. If only I can find some...

100K is more slippery, but if you want to run one year-round then 68K is the best compromise.

For rider below freezing I go even thinner. I've had excellent results with a Motorex 0W40.

Our shop carries both, if anyone needs either. The 100k is easier to get, as it comes in 1L for us, and the 68k is a 5L. A 120mL bottle will do a few forks, so we usually sell either like that.

Both if possible, Supergliss 68k and 100k.

Creative CNC in Wisconsin has 68k. I had to buy 5 L, but I’ll share with a bunch of buddies. I don’t know if they can special order 100 or 32K.

I'm interested in some 100 and 68k if anyone is selling.
