Classic look Reinforced design Noticeably better handling Plug & Ride For wideframe & early largeframe (up to approx. 1977)
Predieri & Abbate has stood for precision-manufactured spare parts "Made in Italy" since 1950. The chrome-plated, reinforced shock absorbers combine an authentic look with modern stability - ideal for lovers of classic Vespas who want a confident, full ride.
The chrome-plated shock absorber is designed for classic chassis and brings more composure to the chassis: clean guidance when leaning, less resonance on undulating surfaces and a more direct steering feel on the brakes and front end - without losing the typical period look.
Robust housing construction with chrome-plated surface, reinforced piston rod and precise guides. High-quality bearing/silent elements reduce play and vibrations. Stylish appearance, contemporary durability.
Clean and preserve chrome surfaces regularly. After winter or rainy rides, rinse, dry and seal with suitable wax/oil.
