Brake discs for scooters Polini is also offering a digital ignition kit with internal rotor for the Vespa 50 PK – Special and Primavera 125 – ET3/PK/XL. The kit includes a gear box support, stator and rotor, and a coil with CDI is provided with the ignition map for the electronic advance. The set-up is said to be very straightforward and enables mechanical adjustment. This new ignition with internal rotor and adjustable advance can be installed on engines that reach 20,000 rpm. The Polini kit is said to be the most advanced set of electronic technology designed for track race applications, deactivating the scooter’s on- board electrical ignition system. The kits include a set-up advance table and power is said to be increased throughout the rpm range. Evolution grips Italian specialist Vertex has expanded its road, scooter and off-road motorcycle product range with the addition of a new line of batteries “with advanced technological content”. Made with highly dispersed Nano Gel electrolytes - with the maintenance-free higher discharging capability Pb-Ca Tin alloy grid structure – the batteries have a weather, salt, petrol, oil and chemical corrosion resistant ABS cover that is sealed with Cos and TTP technology. The new batteries have a low self-discharge ratio with one-year shelf life, a cycle life that is 15% longer than a traditional battery, a wide operating temperature range (-30 ° C/+ 60 ° C), a better recharge capacity and an excellent vibration resistance capability, making them “safe and reliable”. Vertex batteries will be presented for the first time to the public at INTERMOT (9/A59) and EICMA (11/N30). VERTEX PISTONS/VP ITALY S.R.L.

Laser-cut, CNC machined and finished, using highly corrosion resistant thermally treated AIS 1420 stainless steel, they are said to “provide greater readiness when braking, the lower weight of Polini brake disc designs improve vehicle handling, braking performance and modulation in all driving conditions, including in extreme or urgent braking situations. “The heat dissipation during braking is quicker thanks to the design of the external perimeter and ventilation holes, controlling the thermal expansion at high temperatures. Our discs are performance matched to our brake pads, with both available at an excellent quality-price ratio. 58 Finally, these Polini evolution grips have been developed with ergonomics and safety in mind and are made with aerospace developed elastomers and techno polymers of aerospace origin. The anti-slip outside surface of the updated style combines two different surfaces - one smoother, for palm comfort, the other specifically for improved and effective finger grip. The ribbed hand cover flange prevents the hand from slipping and neutralises vibrations.
