English translation:fork legs
Explanation:
"Stage6 R/T Adjustable Racing Fork Legs Black - MBK Nitro/Yamaha Aerox"

"Hard anodised Black / orange Stage6 once again provides you a state-of-the-art product at a reasonable price with the Stage6 R/T adjustable racing fork legs. Installation is very easy, the new Stage6 racing fork legs simply replace the original ones on your scooter and of course most of the original parts like brake calliper, brake disc and mudguard can be kept. However, if the new racing forks still are not cool enough for you, we recommend the whole package consisting of the racing fork, a 280mm oversize brake disc and a 4-piston brake calliper with adaptor. Thanks to the adjustable rebound damping and preload, you can adjust the suspension to your riding style and the respective track."

That said, there appear to be more hits for just "Stage6 R/T Adjustable Racing Fork" without the "leg" bit.

Meanwhile, the "dictionary definition" of "fourreau de fourche" (Dictionnaire technique du deux-roues) appears to be "fork blade".
