Bitubo ECH 29 Fork Cartridge Ducati Panigale

Pressurized Fork Cartridge

 
The Bitubo ECH29 Fork Cartridge was created for racing. The new ECH pressurized cartridge contains a sequence of innovative systems such as FPS, EC, and LC. These systems are the result of extensive research and development by Bitubo's R&D Department in collaboration with the best teams taking part in SBK World Championship as well as the British and Italian Championships.
 
 
The target is to offer the rider the highest stability to the front end, thanks to its perfect control of deceleration even under the hardest braking. The ECH 29 increases the grip entering and exiting a curve thanks to its immediate hydraulic control, and provides uniform tire wear thanks to its instant control of applied force. All this gives the rider the best control under braking, even at extreme lean angles, on virtually any corner on any kind of track.
 
 
TECHNICAL FEATURES:
Hydraulic piston with FPS® system ( Patent Pending) 27mm, in Ergal material
Pumping rods with 10mm with surface coating against friction
Mechanical end-stroke with polyurethane bump stop
CrSi steel springs, heat treated and shot-peenedwith steel balls
Upper cap of the fork with integrated hydraulic spring preload
Independent damping adjustment in compression and rebound
Coaxial compensation chamber (Patent Pending)
Ergal cartridge body with internal surface coating against friction
Separated Hydraulic/sliding lubrication
 
 
 
On the top cap there are all adjustments. Spring preload is supplied with hydraulic actuation for the first time, while rebound and compression are separated on the two cartridges in a simpler and more convenient way.
 


Adjustments:
Spring preload (range 12 mm in 6 turns)
Compression adjustment (24 clicks)
Rebound adjustment (24 clicks)
 
 

EC Easy Changer: This is a quick change system. Fast replacement of the spring, already available in the previous YCE cartridge version, with a free key and a new exclusive cartridge dismantling system which does not require the fork removal. This system makes the set-up bike modification easier by racing technicians.

LC Light Components: This product is manufactured with a high percentage of special light alloys, thus decreasing the weight of the previous YCE considerably.

FPS®, Full Pressure System:  Represents the highest efficiency and practicality of this patented system. This innovative damping system is created for immediate fork oscillation control, thus avoiding any cavitations of the internal fluid. This system is low pressure gas pressurized. The cartridges are asymmetric, where one controls compression, the other controls rebound. With two alternate chambers at the two ends, it is possible to reach a very high damping coefficient even at very low speed.
 


The package is supplied with Olio Synt FUCHS SILKOLENE offering rich sliding, for the external lubrication, granting a perfect consistency and performance. It is available for the most popular 600-1000cc bikes on the market.
