Countering Control Issues

All things have a frequency — particularly dirtbikes. CounterShox has found a way to resonate with that specific frequency in order to help counter the forces your front suspension experiences. The CounterShox Device is a small metal tube that clamps onto the upper fork tube between the triple clamps. An inner piston works as a counter-reaction to the fork action, which helps to keep the front wheel planted. CounterShox claims the effect is most evident in places such as gravel roads, where the dreaded floating front-end-feel is reduced. Impacts from braking bumps and accelerating bumps are also mitigated with the simple, small device. CounterShox also pledges to help eliminate arm pump.

The Mousse With Balls

InnTeck-USA is the official importer of Mr. Wolf, and displayed the new Mousse Balls Anti-Flat System. The self-proclaimed “Mousse with Balls,” the simple yet innovative system is essentially a segmented mousse tube. The obvious advantage of the design is the ability to adjust the firmness by how many units you place in the tire. Less obvious advantages include heat-shedding ability. Heat is the enemy of mousse tubes,” Mr. Wolf explains. More surface area means mousse balls run cooler and therefore last longer. The directional segments are clearly marked and simple to install. The system comes in a box, which is much easier to stock and ship than traditional mousse tubes. Roll on over to: innteck-usa.com

NOBODY LIKES BUSTING TIRES…

The crew at Rabaconda took to the New Product Central showcase with a bold challenge for its new street bike tire changer, a tire change of the notoriously tough Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic front tire live on stage — an impressive display during its 15-minute segment. A full dismount and remount of the tire effectively demonstrated the capability of the innovative ratcheting system, which also effectively protects rims, and can adjust to different wheel sizes. Rabaconda is an ideal solution for small dealerships and custom shops that don’t have room for the fullsize industrial tire-mounting machine, but are still looking to perform fast, efficient tire changes. Rabaconda is also portable, packing into a carrying case to take to events, put in a chase truck, or simply store it out of the way when not in use.

I Spy With My Little Eye

The Collision Avoidance Technology from RideVision is best described through seeing it in motion. A video presented on the New Product Central stage showcased how front and rear sensors mount to the motorcycle and integrate with LED elements on the side-view mirrors to provide multiple important functions. As well as acting as a front and rear dash cam (worth the price of admission alone), the rear sensor provides blind-spot alert and dangerous-overtake alert. The front features forward-collision and distance-keeping alerts. Mounted LEDs send simple, intuitive signals to the rider in order to help prevent accidents. See more here: ride.vision
