Andreani adds tools and updated Misano cartridge options
Like all the vendors who decided to exhibit at EICMA in November 2021, Italian suspension specialist Andreani was glad to be able to get back to meeting its customers face-to-face, indeed, its continuously 'rammed' booth suggested that its customers were pleased to see them too.
The company showed a wide range of its speciality suspension tools, tuning aids and workshop equipment, with new or recent tool additions including a hydraulic shock spring disassembler, a combined top cap tool and an incredibly useful fork grub screw removal kit.
However, its new product highlights centred around its internationally popular and award-winning Misano cartridge kits. At EICMA 2018, Andreani unveiled a massive extension to its cartridge kit applications list, with the Misano EVO as an upgrade to its previous Misano iteration.

Featuring a 20 mm piston with increased oil passages, a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon-based coating) treated tube and a CNC-machined cap, the EVO is fully adjustable in compression, rebound and spring preload (with adjustments directly on the cap for an easier setting), and is said to guarantee the rider "exceptional performance both in cornering and braking".
Available for hundreds of applications - with further new ones for the Triumph Trident 660, Ducati Monster and Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 - Misano EVO cartridges come complete with springs customised for rider weight and riding style.
However, new at EICMA 2021 and a result of its most recent track experiences, Andreani has unveiled another cartridge kit upgrade with a brand new Andreani Big Piston cartridge for Showa BPF 41 to 43 mm forks that have been developed to increase the big piston forks' performance.
A plug & play install, the BPF cartridge features a sophisticated hydraulic system, a DLC treated tube and the EVO design top cap. Easy to install as it does not require disinstallation of the fork bottom during assembly.

Another Andreani debut was the 'Rally Race' cartridge for those wishing to obtain maximum performance from their front suspension - even on dirt roads.
Born from the experience gained during the Italian Motorally Championship and Yamaha Ténéré Challenge, the Rally Race cartridge is available for all twin cylinder motorcycles (KTM, Honda and Yamaha) and has a double compression piston, an increased excursion and a hydraulic end-of-stoke.
This updated cartridge kit is extremely easy to install as it does not require disassembly of the fork bottom during installation and comes complete with springs matched for rider weight and riding style.
