Vertex off-road
sprockets
Italian piston and performance kit specialist Vertex
has developed a range of front and rear sprockets,
made in Europe and developed with the
collaboration of the leading official factory MX and
Enduro teams.
Three rear sprockets are available, all personalised
with the exclusive Vertex design and fully CNCmachined
to guarantee excellent durability. The Steel
line is made in C45 steel with induction hardened
teeth for higher resistance and less wear, with a
lightweight core, black anti-oxide plating and mud
grooves around the diameter. The Alu line is made in
7075 T6 alloy with self-cleaning mud grooves
between each tooth to prevent dirt build-up, new
teeth design to improve chain engagement and
extend chain life, and is available in various colours.
The Duo line is a bi-metal sprocket made with C45
steel with induction hardened teeth and 7075 T6
alloy core developed with the intent of extending the
sprocket and chain lifetime. It is available in different
colours.
Vertex is offering two front sprocket options, both
precision CNC-machined from 16CrNi4 special steel
and available in black. The basic model K and the KC
version are equipped with lightening holes that have
been carefully designed to not compromise reliability.

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."

'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.
Available in black only.
