Classic look Reinforced design Noticeably better handling Plug & Ride For wideframe & early largeframe (up to approx. 1977)

Brand & quality

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.

Area of application & characteristics

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.

Construction & processing

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.

Chrome care instructions

Clean and preserve chrome surfaces regularly. After winter or rainy rides, rinse, dry and seal with suitable wax/oil.

Fitting instructions

The shock absorber replaces the standard part at the original mounting points. Fit the screw connections without tension and tighten to the torques specified in the workshop manual. Check bearing/silent elements and replace if necessary.

No. This damper is designed for Wideframe and early Largeframe (e.g. VNA/VNB/VBA/VBB, GL/GT/GTR/TS, Sprint, Super, GS, Rally).
The set-up is classically firm and designed for road use. If a preload or sleeve adjustment is provided, please adjust according to the vehicle documentation.
Greater dimensional stability of the components, less twisting and therefore smoother, more precise handling - particularly noticeable when braking and on poor roads.

Tip: Check screw connections after 50-100 km. Preserve chrome regularly
