The FKA cartridge kit features a compact design to make it easy to fit in the USD forks most adventures bikes are equipped with. Once installed the bike has a fully adjustable front end. Rebound damping is on one leg and compression within the other, with adjustable spring preload in both. Different springs are available for riders’ individual demands and there is an effective hydraulic stop inside the kit to prevent ‘bottoming’. Robert Brinkmark, Öhlins Product Manager Motorcycles, said: “The FKA Cartridge kit is a very easy way to upgrade adventure bike suspension, offering great quality, durability and easy adjustment. “This market has grown massively over the past decade and interest is still increasing for this segment. Here at Öhlins we also know adventure bike riders demands a lot from their bikes in general and suspension in particular, so we look forward to continued development in this area.” Scorpion Exo 1000 Air 'Airline' SCORPION has refreshed its range-topping Exo 1000 Air helmet with the launch of the Airline version, which features new graphics for 2014. The Exo 1000 Airline features thermodynamical composite technology in the shell, which is made in two sizes, and is said to deform progressively to absorb a greater amount of energy in the event of an accident. It has an EPS composite liner made up of two levels of density. Covering the EPS are three layers of foam and Kwikwick2 fabric, which is said to be breathable and hypoallergenic. The lining is removable and machine washable. 26 The visor, which can be removed without tools, is supplied with a Pinlock insert and can be locked to three different positions, closed, open, or slightly open. The helmet also has an internal retractable sun visor behind the main visor. The Airline helmet is available in a choice of red/white/blue or black/white in sizes XS to XXL.
