Andreani - DS1 spring test dyno
Sidi ' Atojo ' in Technomicro
Noted for its workshop suspension maintenance and tuning systems , in recent years one of the Andreani machines which has enjoyed the greatest success is its spring test dynamometer -developed to give suspension technicians the opportunity to test and tune every aspect of the set-up of modern suspensions . To develop the machine , " we focused on ease of use and the managing and comparing of the data captured by our advanced software ," said company founder and former racer Giuseppe Andreani . " In fact , our DS1 is able to measure the elastic forces ( compression , extension and rebound ) emitted by the suspension as a complete set-up and by the performance of the individual components . The technician can analyse the data and see the performance of the suspension in real time graphs and numerical outputs as captured and reported by the tool software ." For specialist use , Andreani additionally offers specific kits that are calibrated for the particular dynamics and tuning needs for a correct dyno spring set-up of , for
example off-road suspensions , street and sport bike set-ups , a bump rubber kit ( new ) and even for MTB suspensions , making the DS1 a versatile tool . The off-road kit , for example , includes the specialist fittings that make it easy to adapt the DS1 specifically to all the different kinds of dynamics , set-ups and architectures of off-road motorcycle forks . The kit also includes fittings to measure the bump rubbers , which are very important setup components . Based on the rubber hardness , the software will give different progression graphs - by measuring the effects of the hardness , the technician will be able to characterise and choose the bump that suits the requirements best - or to simply verify whether or not a bump should be replaced . This brand new feature allows the technician to measure and characterise the different bump rubbers by setting and testing them in their correct position . Andreani is offering free shipping on the DS1 throughout Europe .

One of Sidi ' s top selling boots , the ' Atojo ' SRS was developed " to meet the tough demands of champions , designed to help pilots obtain the best feeling with their motorcycles and provide optimal driving precision ". The upper is produced in Technomicro , which is resistant against water , scrapes and cuts . There is a three-lever closure mechanism and levers function independently from one another for effortless and secure closing . Protection includes a front panel in anatomically shaped PU , and for safety and comfort three removable systems prevent hypertension in the foot . This new , special edition version of the ' Atojo ' SRS ( Sole Replacement System ) in black and white " has been created to evoke sophistication ". The name Atojo reflects the names of the three racers who contributed to its development - " A " for Alessandro Lupino , " TO " for Tony Cairoli and " JO " for Jorge Prado . The all new ' Atojo ' SRS motocross boot is over one pound lighter per boot than Sidi ' s popular Crossfire 3 , and the overall height has been reduced 1 cm vs the Crossfire 3 , based on input from the professional athletes who have helped Sidi develop it . Technomicro is a composite microfibre material created from strands that are so fine , each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of silk . These fibres act like natural leather skin , but with the advantage of better strength , softer texture and lighter weight . Technomicro is also water resistant , highly resistant to abrasion and tearing and easy to clean and maintain . Technomicro doesn ' t stain and offers reduced weight , more flexibility and a better feel than leather or other synthetic material boots . The ' Atojo ' SRS plastics have an all-new design - the high impact plastic heel is shaped and specially moulded to improve foot safety in case of torsional twists and to ensure comfort and stability . On the inner shin , the boot leg is built of protective suede with embossed rubber inserts which , in addition to providing good grip on the bike , protect the leg from engine heat . Rubber inserts for a smoother surface area , greater grip and control are strategically located on the inside of the ankle . The high-impact plastic shin plate is anatomically shaped , its structure also extends under the upper to increase protection .
