EONE Suspension Kit for Energica ' s Performance Bikes Range

In addition to being one of New England ' s premier performance centers and engine tuners , Gardner , Massachusetts based Rob ' s Dyno Service is also a major player in the suspension market . Last year , AMD featured new performance shock absorbers and front fork kits for Indian models . Developed by Rob ' s Dyno Service in collaboration with Mooresville , NC based Jeff Ryan , they make for a technically advanced , durable , dyno-tested and reliably responsive front and rear suspension system for Indian Big Twins . The development of suspension set-ups on a performance and handling system basis is the Rob Swartz hallmark , and he takes the same approach to another enterprise he is building - Energica of New England .
Noted for their advanced technology , the Italian made Energica brand was the original ' spec ' bike for the FIM Electric Motorcycle World Cup - the competition that has now graduated to FIM World Championship status . Just as Energica was an early adopter and seeing the potential for road-going electric performance and race bikes , so too Rob Swartz has been an ' early adopter ' signing up as an Energica dealer and has been in the vanguard of opening up the street performance and aftermarket potential of high-performance electric street bikes . His commitment to enhancing the performance of electric motorcycles has seen him build and offer an advanced suspension range tailored to meet the needs of both street and track riders . Collaborating with industry leaders , Energica has " redefined motorcycle suspension systems , providing unparalleled adjustability and improved handling ." Rob ' s product range of choice is based around Andreani Monotube front fork internals upgrades mated to Öhlins rear shocks . The Andreani Monotube upgrade is designed specifically for the Marzocchi front forks of the kind that Energica uses as OEM fitment and is aid to
" substantially transform the stock setup , offering sophisticated improvements aimed at both street and track applications ," says Rob . Enhanced adjustability allows riders to fine-tune their fork setup with precision , improving handling with each click of adjustment , " yielding a noticeable difference in the motorcycle ' s handling . The tailored riding experience they deliver offers 40 mm more travel compared to the standard bike , enhancing the motorcycle ' s versatility and performance ." Customized to Energica ' s specifications for Energica of New England , the Öhlins rear shock " takes the riding experience to the next level by offering a degree of customized shock absorber adjustability specification that was previously unavailable to Energica riders . " Our versatile solution includes a one-inch lowering kit option for riders seeking a different stance and center of gravity without compromising on cornering clearance or handling . " On our test bike , our own Energica EsseEsse9 +, it showcases the profound transformation achievable with these suspension upgrades . Despite not being a typical track motorcycle , the improved handling was unanimously praised . The expertise of the Energica team that we have been able to leverage is the same team that has made a name for Energica here in the United States , known for working on high-profile podium placing projects like Stefano Mesa ’ s EVA Ribelle RS Super Hooligan bike . The EONE suspension kit " is set to revolutionize the experience for Energica motorcycles following its May 1 , 2024 , public release - with hugely positive early rection ."

Rob ' s Dyno Service is said to be the only Energica establishment on the East Coast of the United States that is equipped with a genuine suspension dyno - " which allows us to ensure that each setup is optimized for maximum performance . " The detailed comparison charts that we readily make available demonstrate the significant benefits over stock suspension setups , validating the promise of a significantly enhanced riding experience ."
