The Andreani Group, the noted Italian suspension specialist, has brought further track and street experience to updates to its popular replacement and upgrade cartridge kit programmes.

The flagship of the Andreani products range is the Misano cartridge, developed by its R&D team for the most popular, best-selling street bikes, naked style, vintage and large displacement scooters. The newly restyled EVO version is available for over 200 applications and has a solid reputation for reliable performance and durability.
Advanced technical features include the use of 20 mm pistons with increased oil passages, new style cartridge tubes with hard DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating treatment and a sophisticated hydraulic system that transmits excellent response in fast riding and improved comfort in urban or touring use compared to most OEM suspensions.
As an OE replacement, the Misano EVO brings levels of tunability not generally available from standard manufacturer suspensions, including compression, rebound and spring preload based on rider weight and riding style and conditions.
Also seen here, the ACK cartridge kit (Andreani Conversion Kit) has been developed by the Andreani Group R&D team for off-road motorcycles equipped with air/spring forks and is now available for all 2 and 4-stroke KTM and Husqvarna models from 85 cc and up.
The kit is made entirely from Ergal and aluminium and has a solid 12 mm rod, a practical cap provided with a spring preload adjuster, a pre-loading tube with a specially treated tube to increase smoothness, a spring in the cartridge lower to reduce friction between stem and sleeve and adjustable spring pre-load.

Developed to make riding off-road less tiring and to deliver maximum control of the front wheel, Andreani says that the ACK kit will provide much improved feel and absorption of the bumps and lumps of rough terrain, jumps and landings, and is designed as an easy-install direct OEM replacement.
Andreani Group also designs and manufactures a range of specialty suspension tuning, repair and service tools, machines and systems for professional technicians and race teams, and offers a regular programme of exclusive suspension courses at its high-tech manufacturing, research, development, testing and training headquarters at Pesaro (on Italy’s Adriatic coast south of Venice).
Andreani also distributes many leading suspension brands, either in Italy or internationally, including Öhlins, MIVV, Marchesini, Samco, Kayaba, Showa, Regina, SKF, Hagon, Speedy Mousse, Eibach, PFC, SuperB, Whiteline, DWS and ND Tuned.
