The basic model K and the KC version are equipped with lightening holes that have been carefully designed to not compromise reliability. VERTEX PISTONS/VP ITALY S.R.L. Reggio Emilia, ITALY Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.vertexpistons.com Fulbat extends Gel highperformance range Belgium based Fulbat is an important vendor in the battery business in Europe and worldwide for both OEM and replacement batteries. With new international regulations and the ever-increasing limitations governing acid handling and shipping, Fulbat has invested in new technology and tooling to provide its network with a complete range of motorcycle batteries with sealed, ready to use and pre-charged batteries. 44 INTERNATIONAL DEALER NEWS - JUNE/JULY 2020 The company's new Gel range is said to already cover 85% of motorcycle, ATV, UTV, snowmobile and watercraft applications and should reach 95% by the end of 2021. "For us, it was obvious that we had to offer a complete Gel range as acid battery regulations continued to tighten. Gel batteries are really the best solution for dealers and end users as they take away the increasingly unpopular complexities of dealing with acid fill technology. "We maintain, recharge and control all our batteries in our Mouscron, Belgian warehouse before shipment to ensure the right performance of the product. "In parallel, we also offer a complete range of chargers and testers for our distributors and dealers so they can recharge and control batteries before selling." FULBAT Mouscron, BELGIUM [email protected] www.fulbat.com 'Weightless' luggage solutions This new lightweight line of semi-rigid cases includes a pair of side cases and a top case, using the Monokey attachment system. The secret of the 'Weightless' cases lies in the material used, ABS, a mix of lightness and rigidity, worked through a thermoforming process, which gives the bags full load capacity. The aerodynamic design "contributes to improving the performance, making them particularly suitable for sports and naked bikes". The side cases WL900 are sold in pairs, have an internal capacity of 25 litres each and are compatible with various tubular luggage racks. Features include a soft touch interior lining, mesh pocket, elastic bands for securing the load and handle. The cases have diamond texture of the outer shell and a logo on a silver chromeplated injection badge. The WL900s are secured to the frame by Security Lock. Opening and closing of the cases is with a sturdy zip that runs centrally; sliders with a combination lock are integrated as standard. Dimensions are 491 x 360 x 247 mm. Maximum load (excluding the case weight) is 5 kg. The top case WL901 can be expanded from 29 to 34 litres, enough to hold a modular helmet, by opening the accordion hinge, which hides a 600D polyester fabric extension. Compatible with all Monokey plates, the WL901 opens and closes like the side cases and it also has a carrying handle. Dimensions are 46 x 266 x 293 x 386 mm and the maximum load is also 5 kg.
