Front shock absorbers for the Lambretta LI/TV/SX/GP models forks. Ideal for a retro-fit or as more sporting upgrade replacements for an improved suspension.
Many Lambretta models left the factory as standard without shock absorbers for the front suspension and eventually were ridden in traffic by their customers. The front wheel was only provided with a pair of springs to improve the ride. Only their largest-capacity models were ever equipped with some form of damping for the front axle, which was obviously an enormous advantage for their handling, especially when compared to the models without this essential feature. These OE shock absorbers though also left a lot of room for improvement.
Our SIP 'Race' Shock Absorbers upgrade the Lambretta front suspension with state-of-the-art component technology.
The additional piggy-back mounted reservoir ensures a greater volume of hydraulic oil is available for the shock absorbers operation. This increased volume has the advantages of an improved thermal stability of the oil, which in turn facilitates a more consistent performance – especially under load.
