DigiShox
Shown at EICMA, initially on a Honda Africa Twin,
DigiShox (DS) is a new Bluetooth enabled
electronic front cartridge and rear shock absorber
adjustment and tuning system from Italian
suspension specialist Bitubo. DS is also available
for Suzuki GSXR1000 and 2018 Harley-Davidson
Fat Bob.
Controlled from a handlebar LED panel and via a
CPU and GPS/lean angle sensor, an iOS or Android
Smartphone App allows the rider to control and set
either of the two available DS Bitubo kits (Race or
Street/Full), taking rider control of suspension
settings to a new level.
Electronic control of the Bitubo DS replacement
front fork cartridges delivers electronic rebound
and compression control and hydraulic spring
preload tuning.
The DigiShox rear monoshock delivers electronic
rebound and compression adjustment with manual
spring preload on the race kit, electronic spring
preload adjustment on the street/full kit and
manual shock absorber length adjustment on
both.
The system allows for 12 different setting

Rear monoshock,
allowing electronic

and Bitubo says the time taken for adjustments to
be implemented is among the fastest available and
that the set-up changes are a function of speed.
