PRODUCT NEWS Variator for SH 125-150i POLINI has created its ‘Hi Speed Variator’ for use on Honda SH 125-150i four stroke bikes, and claims that it offers better acceleration and engine progression. Features on the variator that help with improved performance include rollers sliding surfaces having a new polishing treatment to reduce friction. The rollers have a coating made of a new mixture of nylon and aramidic fibers. The bush is made of special casehardened chromed-nickel steel, tempered and ground. It has a big internal pocket that contains the grease, inside of which there is a special spring that allows a constant grease distribution on the pin even during the hardest conditions of use. The new variator is available with compression spring, which is 10 percent harder than the original one, increasing the engine revolution rate when starting.

[phone] Fax [phone] www.caberg-helm.com PINASCO has created a line of lightweight alloy tubeless 10in rims for use on Vespa scooters. The new rims feature a 2.10in channel centred to the Vespa frame to get the maximum stability both on Vespa large frame and small frame models. The Pinasco rims are completely reversible, and the position of the air valve remains at the same point as the original rim. Should a puncture occur, the rims can be used with an inner tube. The anti-bead breaking on the rim is obtained by CNC machining, all surfaces are perfectly rounded to allow tyre mounting without special tools, and shoulders have been reinforced in order to provide an inner groove for the O-ring seal.
