SHOW ZONE Puig: The Barcelona based performance plastics specialist has channelled its long experience in the design of aerodynamic accessories into creating a new range of ABS Sports Plus products, intended to enhance the appearance of racing motorcycles like the radical Yamaha MT-09 (FZ-09). The company says that “these parts are distinguished by their small size and versatility, which allows them to be mounted alone, as a cover for the front, or together with the visor, which channels the air and significantly reduces turbulence for the rider”. Many combinations are possible, so that the rider can set up the level of aerodynamic protection according to personal preferences. Their easy- mount sport or touring fairings increase protection in all riding conditions; www.puig.tv Parts Europe: 2019 will see the Wasserliesch, Germany based distributor celebrating 10 years since the first stage of its all new state-of-the-art 16,500 sq m European warehouse and headquarters facility was completed – a palace of logistics excellence that has been running at near capacity for several years already.
