The low-profile design also gives adequate body clearance and vented openings allow ‘open can’ motors to breath. The heatsink is machined from 6061 aluminium, comes in blue or black colour and simply clips onto the motor with no fasteners needed.

Available for Capricorn’s standard and big bore shock absorbers the different hardness membranes help to adjust the damper’s rebound effect. Last but not least comes a new steering system for the LAB TE01 electric touring car.

Ride introduce the Pro Matched short big bore springs for electric touring cars. With the current trend of using low-profile shock towers and shorter shock absorbers conventional 25mm springs are too long to achieve a proper ride height. Therefore Ride now have 23mm long offerings available with an inner diameter of 15mm and an outer diameter of 18mm. The colour-coded springs come with plastic spacer rings for a wobble-free fit, are individually checked and matched to guarantee an equal spring rate and fit a wide range of touring car chassis. Ride advises that owners of cars that use 20mm springs may have to with check ride height compatibility.
