Andreani - DS1 spring test dyno
To develop the machine, "we focused on ease of use and the managing and comparing of the data captured by our advanced software," said company founder and former racer Giuseppe Andreani.
"In fact, our DS1 is able to measure the elastic forces (compression, extension and rebound) emitted by the suspension as a complete set-up and by the performance of the individual components. The technician can analyse the data and see the performance of the suspension in real time graphs and numerical outputs as captured and reported by the tool software."
For specialist use, Andreani additionally offers specific kits that are calibrated for the particular dynamics and tuning needs for a correct dyno spring set-up of, for example off-road suspensions, street and sport bike set-ups, a bump rubber kit (new) and even for MTB suspensions, making the DS1 a versatile tool.
The off-road kit, for example, includes the specialist fittings that make it easy to adapt the DS1 specifically to all the different kinds of dynamics, set-ups and architectures of off-road motorcycle forks. The kit also includes fittings to measure the bump rubbers, which are very important set-up components. Based on the rubber hardness, the software will give different progression graphs - by measuring the effects of the hardness, the technician will be able to characterise and choose the bump that suits the requirements best - or to simply verify whether or not a bump should be replaced.
This brand new feature allows the technician to characterise the force and progression of the bump rubbers in their original mounting position.
Andreani is offering free shipping on the DS1 throughout Europe.
