EICMA 2019 Review Pt3
LEM Motor: The Italian quad, minibike and electric vehicles manufacturer stands out as an innovator and design driver in a crowded space. Its popular 500W 48V E-Bike Cruiser line-up offers convincing urban mobility and robust styling options for all the family; www.lem-motor.com
Macna: Owned by Dutch specialist Splash Design, the Macna apparel programme includes high-tech, feature-rich solutions for all styles of riding and all conditions; www.macna.com
Moose Racing: Distributed exclusively in Europe by Parts Europe (Wasserliesch/Trier, Germany), Moose Racing's new clothing collection includes Off-Road, MX, Adventure and ATV equipment, and for 2020 features redesigns of its MX lines and its Enduro and ATV developed XCR line. "When it comes to MX clothing, Moose Racing offers three different clothing lines, all adapted to the specialty needs of MX and Off-Road riders and their personal preferences and riding environments. The 'Sahara' line comes with an athletic fit and is made for warm weather using highly ventilated fabric at the right spots. The M1 collection is the allrounder of Moose Racing's MX apparel lines. The durable, multi-talent level design is made to fit all levels of riding skills. The 'Qualifier' range "fits everyone with all that is needed for the first rounds in the dirt - this line is available from children's sizes up to 5XL and promises a comfortable riding experience without a high price tag.”
Moose Racing also showed the new carbon heat shields and pipe guards it offers for all the latest 2 and 4 stroke off-road motorcycles. The mud covers shown fit over the radiator louvers and help prevent mud build-up on the radiators, avoiding causing over heating of the engine. The Polyurethane LG skid plates provide excellent protection along with the ability to slide over rocks and logs without hanging up. The extended protector covers the shock linkage for added protection; www.partseurope.eu; www.mooseracing.com
Venhill Engineering: Following the launch of its 888 Fast-Action throttle for the Yamaha R1, the British motorcycle controls specialist expanded its range of cable and hose kits, developing kits for the current models of off-road bikes and popular ranges of road bikes that are more than three years old. Additions to the range include the latest off-road bikes from KTM, Kawasaki and Yamaha as well as popular sports bikes such as the Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja 2013-2019 and Yamaha R1 2015-2019. All Venhill kits are designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment and are made in Venhill's ISO 9001 accredited factory in the UK. Every brake line is tested to 1500 psi before leaving the factory and is approved to DOT and TÜV standards. Cables are made using marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for minimum stretch and a low-friction PTFE liner for a smoother action, without the need for lubrication. www.venhill.co.uk
Technomousse: The Italian mousse specialist has made a lot of changes in a short space of time. An all-new brand identity has been backed up by a complete rebirth of its product line as a result of a massive R&D investment. Featuring the company's Anti Puncture System (APS), EICMA saw it unveil an all-new generation of high performance motorcycle mousses. APS is made with a proprietary latest generation closed-cell expanded material with a low density composition - this allows it to be three times lighter than any similar compound while maintaining all its physical-mechanical properties. "The result is a revolutionary mouldable plastic that is extremely light, ductile, flexible and soft to the touch," says Sales Director Marco Boletti. This single raw material is suitable for all applications - from Enduro to MX to mini-cross - and features in the new 'Black Series' range, with four degrees of softness that ensures optimal pressures, high performance and complete protection in all off-road disciplines. "The high level of elasticity means the mousse adapts to any type of tyre, being able to cover its carcass 100% and is equipped with the exceptional 'Ready to Race' feature that makes it able to reach maximum levels of elasticity after only a few minutes of use, and then resume its hardness and initial conformation during rest at the end of use, and means our products have no expiry date," says Marco; www.technomousse.com
