More than thirty participants, including people from Russia, Taiwan, Greece, Dubai and Slovakia, attended the last of Italian suspension specialist Andreani Group's specialist English language suspension technicians courses held at their "Suspension World Academy" at their Pesaro headquarters, south of Rimini on Italy's Adriatic coast.
The high-tech facility that Andreani has developed for their suspension courses features a bidirectional telemetry simulator and a maxi screen connected to some of the advanced suspension testing, diagnostic and calibration/tuning equipment developed by former professional motocrosser Giuseppe Andreani in the 27 years since he founded what is now one of Europe's leading specialist suspension businesses.
The two-day course structure covers maintenance, overhauling and tuning of all the major brands of suspension for street bikes, with the second day dedicated to off-road suspension with special reference to off-road race suspension set-ups and tuning.
Along the way, Andreani's technical and race support team staff share their knowledge and insights into many of what are often regarded as the "dark arts" of suspension - knowledge that can only be accumulated from many years of paddock experience such as the theories and techniques of chassis setting and front fork and shock absorber optimisation.
Their next international technicians course will be on February 10th/11th 2016.
