Matris scooter
twin shock options
Italian suspension specialist Matris has two new
scooter suspension options - the new standard twin
shock model (M40S) and Race model (M40SR).
Excepting for established maxi-scooter applications
(such as the TMAX, XADV and AK550 that have
already been in production for some time), this is the
first entry into the mainstream of the scooter market
for Matris, and the company says it is a direct
response to dealer requests.
The programme sees the company introducing a
specific line of twin shocks designed to fit Honda SH
125/150/300, Yamaha XMax 300/400 and Piaggio
Honda SH 300
Beverly 300/350.
“All the new products are made and assembled using
the usual high level and quality materials and
components that we are known for,“ says company
Co-Owner Alberto Turcato. “These are not just a
replacement for the factory shock absorbers but offer
a serious improvement over the OEM set-up with
improved response and handling.”
The shocks are 40 mm diameter fitments with 40 mm
hydraulic unit-piston diameter, 14 mm chromed
piston shaft diameter, adjustable rebound and
preload on the standard replacement with
compression, rebound and preload adjustment on
the performance model.

REV'IT! SS19 Adventure Collection
The Expedition H2O boot is part of the
Netherlands based apparel specialist REV’IT!
new SS19 Adventure Collection, a
“revolutionary adventure boot that we’ve
been working on for over three years”. The
company describes the boot as “the missing
link between highly protective yet bulky and
non-waterproof MX boots and less
protective waterproof adventure touring
boots currently on the market”.
It has been tested for over 100,000 km and
features hydratex/Sphere waterproofing
technology. Further features include DSF
(Dynamic Support Frame), external TPU shin
plate, Boa closure system and a Vibram Apex
sole.
Also a part
of the Adventure
Collection, the new
‘Offtrack’ outfit provides freedom of
movement with a detachable hydratex/Mesh
G-liner. It is also prepared for a “serious”
protection upgrade as the rider can insert a
SEESOFT CE level 2 back protector and CE
level 1 divided chest protectors. Other
features include 3D mesh panels at upper
body and upper back, multiple reflection
panels, adjustable straps on the sides, arms
and legs and a grip patch on the pants’ rear.
