Shocking should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Can anyone provide good medium for reviewing current "state of the art" damper/supension technology in F-1, SuperBike, etc.?

I am looking for photos of hardware, packaging, articles, technical detail etc.

I am interested in comparing current suppliers hardware with my own technology.

Thanks In Advance

Are you in production?

Does your 'technology' include separate adjustment of bump and rebound?

Technical Suspension Info.

I am not in large volume production. Currently I am involved in several joint R&D programs within the OEM motorcycle, bicycle, and automotive industries.

Regarding damping adjustment - yes I have a number of variations available: Hydro-Pneumatic, Internal air assist springs, position sensitive capability, and I'm playing with hydraulically driven remote springs and motion ratio adjustment.

I agree with the problems of gas pressurized dampers. The core feature of my technology is it is a fixed volume unit which eliminates pressurization entirely.

The Sachs F-1 dampers have a similar external appearance to my hardware, but they still incorporating conventional De Carbon technology internally.

This is my first post here. Thank you for your input and I welcome any other comments

The Ohlins site is a very good source of technical information. There are downloads & drawings aplenty.

You could also look at Paul Haney's "Inside Motorsport" site as dampers are his speciality.

The current issue of Circle Track has a small article on the new Carrera magneto-rheological damper. Last month's Racecar also featured this technology.

Have a look at the forums on this site too, as there are a couple of people that post in there who do consultancy stuff for Penske etc.
