IMOLA - street legal through-rod mono shock
Italian suspension specialist MUPO has introduced a new and "innovative" shock absorber that is designed to "upgrade any superbike to levels of absolute performance".
"IMOLA is the first street legal through-shaft mono suspension ever produced and put on the market. This technology guarantees an extremely precise and frictionless operation. It operates at a minimum working pressure thanks to a new hydraulic system.
"Manufactured with materials used only in the racing world so far, the new IMOLA racing suspension is conceived for riders who hit the track with the aim of beating the clock."
Construction of the body is in Ergal 7075 (hard and lightweight zinc-aluminium alloy) with a hard anodised and lapped internal cylinder, nitrile seals (NBR) and a powerful 35 mm main piston.
The 14 mm through-shaft rod is made from diamond-like coated (DLC) Hyperlox treatment with a surface roughness below Ra 0.06 and hardness greater than HV 9000. The internal system is low-pressure oil expansion compensation with minimum weight-optimised chrome silicon steel springs.
MUPO uses an SAE 2.5W synthetic oil, and as with all the products in the MUPO catalogue, the IMOLA is completely rebuildable and backed by a two-year warranty, that can be extended up to six years by servicing the suspension periodically per the operation and maintenance booklet.
