New generation of high-
performance mousses
Italian specialist Technomousse has
made a lot of changes in a short space
of time. An all-new brand identity has
been backed up by a complete rebirth of
its product line as a result of a massive
R&D investment. Featuring the
company's Anti Puncture System (APS),
EICMA saw it unveil an all-new
generation of high-performance
motorcycle mousses.
APS is made with a proprietary latest
generation closed-cell expanded
material with a low-density composition
- this allows it to be three times lighter
than any similar compound while
maintaining all its physical-mechanical
properties.
"The result is a revolutionary mouldable
plastic that is extremely light, ductile,
flexible and soft to the touch," says
Sales Director Marco Boletti. This single
raw material is suitable for all
applications - from Enduro to MX to
mini-cross - and features in the new
'Black Series' range, with four degrees
of softness that ensures optimal
pressures, high performance and
complete protection in all off-road
disciplines.
"The high level of elasticity means the
mousse adapts to any type of tyre, being
able to cover its carcass 100% and is
equipped with the exceptional 'Ready to
Race' feature that makes it able to reach
maximum levels of elasticity after only a
few minutes of use, and then resume its
hardness and initial conformation
during rest at the end of use, which
means our products have no expiry
date," says Marco.
As the new race season approaches,
Technomousse is already reaping the
benefit of its investments with a series
of announcements about its race
involvements.
Technomousse is an Official Sponsor of
the 2020 FIM Enduro and FIM Super
Enduro World Championship.
The Super Enduro FIM World
Championship kicked off in Poland in
December, with further stages in
Germany and Spain, Hungary in
February and the series final on 14th
March 2020, and back in Poland with
the Polish GP.
