Superfinishing, sometimes referred to as micro-polishing has become a normal feature to many engine and gearbox components within Motorsport. Vespa and Lambretta gearboxes in particular are increasingly over stressed with ever more powerful kits. The benefits of Super-finishing even road going Classic Scooter gearboxes, will reduce friction and vibration while increasing durability and component longevity.
FWD Superfinished gear boxes have proven an effective upgrade in some of the most competitive and hardest ridden Scooters in the BSSO Scooter Racing paddock.
Superfinishing benefits:
-
produces smoother surfaces and therefore less friction and reducing power loss through transmission
-
allows engines to run cooler, faster and for longer by reducing drag and resisting fatigue cracks
-
increases component life and durability due to less wear
-
produces consistent and accurate close tolerance finished to 0.03Ra
-
increases gear and other component performance, producing a smoother gear change
-
produces a highly polished appearance
-
allows reduced running-in time​
