The shock absorber is the central element of the chassis and a safety-relevant component. If it is either defective or if a shock absorber is used that does not correspond with the riding style, this can lead to nasty surprises. Shock absorbers that are too soft can break easily or give you the fright of your life in curves or at high speeds.

A defective shock absorber has a negative impact on the drive comfort and safety. This becomes evident either if the spring only works when it is put under pressure (excessively fast extension), or through obvious traces of fluid loss around the damping rod. To resolve such a problem, a new shocker is necessary.

The Standard shock absorbers correspond with the originals in terms of their stiffness and their appearance. They are supplied with/without springs and with/without covering caps depending on the model.

The CARBONE shock absorbers are made in Italy and convince thanks to their exceptionally high quality. The standard CARBONE are a little stiffer than the original suspension – a top original spare part with a decent appearance at very good value for money. The PASCOLI and NEGRO shocks are a feast for the eyes and the first choice for anyone who wants to restore a Vespa. Similar to the Premium shock absorbers they are very high quality and correspond exactly to the original designs. The ESCORTS are from India, work well and are a bit harder, then the original once.
