18-02-2012 Tractive electronic PA in Wilbers WESA
Based on the Wilbers ESA system (WESA), Wilbers Products GmbH will be presenting the electronic aftermarket WESA-X shock at the trade fair in Dortmund (hall 4, booth 487 1-4 March). The WESA-X system is based on stepper motor technology for the damping adjustment like used by BMW in ESA. Tractive developed and supplies a special preload adjuster (EPA) for Wilbers for load compensation for example for luggage or passenger. By this cooperation between Wilbers and Tractive the ESA-technology becomes available for many motorbike brands other than BMW, for non-ESA BMW motorbikes or as replacement for BMW ESA shocks.
