MALOSSI RS Shock Absorbers: High-end suspension technology from racing for sporty Vespa setups - from RS3 to RS24/10-R.
When it comes to engine tuning, MALOSSI has been one of the major players in the scooter tuning market for years - and the suspension has been developed accordingly. The "RS" shock absorber series has been manufactured by PAIOLI for MALOSSI for decades and stands for high quality, precision and direct racing experience in development. This benefits not only racing riders, but also sporty everyday Vespisti who want to rely on a more precise and higher-quality suspension. Depending on the version, the range extends from adjustable entry-level systems to uncompromising high-end Silencers with separately adjustable high/low-speed functions. Please note: without TÜV approval.
- RS3 to RS24/10-R: four expansion stages for different requirements
- Racing-proven MALOSSI/PAIOLI suspension technology
- Depending on the model, with adjustable spring preload as well as rebound and compression damping
- High-end solutions for sporty road, ESC and racing setups
The RS3 is the entry-level model in the MALOSSI suspension family: an oil-pneumatic Shock Absorber with infinitely adjustable spring preload - designed for sporty road vehicles with a price-conscious approach.
The RS24 is the classic of the series and is particularly popular in ESC and other racing series. Its compact design belies its elaborate inner workings: damping takes place in separate gas and oil chambers, meaning that no external Fluid Reservoir External is required. In addition to the infinitely variable spring preload, the rebound stage of the front Silencer is 24-way adjustable. With Conversion Steering Column PK, these Silencers also fit in classic small frames.
Even more consistent is the RS24/10, an oil-pneumatic gas pressure shock absorber with Fluid Reservoir External. The additional volume means that thermal loads are better balanced, which supports clean and constant damping characteristics even under prolonged use. In addition to infinitely variable spring preload and 24-way adjustable rebound damping, the compression damping can also be adjusted.
At the top is the RS24/10-R, the latest innovation from MALOSSI Engineering. A special Ergal alloy is used to insert particularly lightweight aluminum components, and the volume of the Fluid Reservoir has been increased once again. In addition to the familiar adjustment options of the RS24/10, the "R" version allows fast and slow plunging movements to be regulated independently of each other - the familiar high/low system.
