Bitubo

 

Founded in 1963, Bitubo, the House of Shock Absorbers, proposes itself right from the start as a dynamic company for anything connected with the control of vibrations, of any type and in the most varied applications, always realizing cutting-edge damping systems with innovative technology. 

                     
In 1975, it came to the forefrontof the motorcycling market with the innovation of the famous pair of shock absorbers connected by two compensating rubber pipes, hence the name “Bitubo”, that have gathered so many successes in the off-Road sector and were immediately adopted by the greatest champions.
The first World title goes back to 1979 with E. Lazzarini in the 50cc Class, repeated the following year, while in the 125 GP it won the ’93 World Championship with D. Raudies, and is vice-champion in ’94.


After a year and a half testing, in 1999 Bitubo presents the revolutionary Mono 4 Regolazioni. Covered by 4 international patents, it becomes immediately a benchmark, relevant even today, for the world technology of suspensions: in fact the FXZ model with 4 Adjustments is a revolutionary shock absorber where the four hydraulic adjustments (slow and fast fluids in compression and extension) act independently from one another, realizing a level of setup resolution never reached before.        

                                        
In 2001 it presents HDX00 Racing Fork, the first fork realized by Bitubo, designed to revolutionize the existing technological level. Completely adjustable and pressurized (nitrogen), it isadopted in the SBK World Championship, and in 2003 it wins the Italian laurels in the SBK.

Today the range includes over 1200 models available for all kinds of 2 wheeels around, from the Scooter to the Tourist Maxi down to the Supersport Replica and to the QUAD. Today Bitubo is the ideal solution for bikers who want the best for their two-wheel vehicles: comfort, safety, driving precision and, above all, the quality of an excellent product, constantly developed in co-operation with some Italian Universities, updated with fatigue and destruction tests, both in software and dynamic simulations.

The use of high resistance steel with low friction for rods and shock absorbing body, the Ergal 7075 alloys used from solid with CNC machines for the realization of all the other components, and the very high quality of the manufacturing process, allowed Bitubo to achieve the prestigious UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Certification that, added to the prestigious TUV German approval, witness the extremely high standard of the Bitubo products.
