Italian suspension specialist Mupo has introduced a new front suspension cartridge - the CSP30 - that features "Through-Rod Technology".
Described as the result of over 10 years of development by its in-house R&D department, the CSP30 is a race cartridge that has been tested, among others, by Michele Pirro in the Italian SBK series ("which we won again this year for the fourth year in a row"), Alex Barros in Brazil and in other countries in a number of leading and demanding series and race environments.
At the heart of the CSP30 is the company's Through-Rod Technology, "an innovative system used by top teams in the most prestigious competitions worldwide. This technology is defined by the innovative way the piston rod operates - entering and exiting the body of the cartridge at the same time, avoiding gas pressure imbalances and limiting oil dilatation.
"The result is a homogeneous and extremely progressive damping, with outstanding front end grip and feel under braking and in the apex and exit phases of the corner. The performance of the CSP30 is quite simply the result of superior design - delivering much improved performance to the less responsive and slower dynamics that traditional open, closed and pressurised cartridges deliver.
"The compression and rebound damping are completely independent. This, together with the spring preload adjustment in both legs, makes finding the perfect set-up simple, fast and intuitive".
Founded in 1993, 100% of Mupo's production is carried out at its 650 sq m headquarters at Castel Guelfo di Bologna - in the heart of Italy's famed 'Motor Valley' - and is backed by the resources of the Roberto Nuti Group - a five-company industrial group founded in the early 1960s that specialises in the production of suspension products of all kinds - from industrial vehicles, such as trucks, trailers and buses, to motorcycles and scooters.
This gives Mupo access to a wide range of R&D, testing, manufacturing and quality control resources, and with five production sites worldwide and over 300 people employed in the group, Mupo can draw on the skills available in one of Europe's major engineering centres of excellence.
