Athena launches new suspension bushings and shims

Alonte (VI), Italy, January 2025. Athena, a leader in highperformance motorcycle spare parts, has expanded its product offering with the launch of new fork bushings and shims designed to deliver exceptional durability and performance, even under intense riding conditions or challenging terrains, such as those found in motocross or enduro.
 

These new components, the result of rigorous testing, offer a unique combination of enhanced control, extended reliability, and improved comfort. With their precise responsiveness, reduced vibrations, and superior smoothness, Athena sets a new standard for riding experiences, providing unparalleled performance even on demanding terrain.

ATHENA BUSHINGS

The new Athena bushings, made of high-strength steel and coated with copper, offer exceptional durability and resistance to heavy loads, guaranteeing the rider superior stability and control. The PTFE coating reduces friction and improves smoothness, ensuring precise response and a smooth ride on all types of terrain, while the copper optimizes heat dissipation and corrosion resistance.

Athena bushings are available individually, a practical solution for one-off maintenance of a single leg.

ATHENA SHIMS

Athena shims, for front forks and rear shock absorbers, are made of a high-hardness steel alloy to offer reliable and consistent performance even under intense stress. Thanks to the different diameter and thickness configurations, they allow precise calibration of the suspension, adapting perfectly to the characteristics of the terrain and driving preferences.

Proposed in kits of 10, the shims represent a versatile solution, perfect for both professional suspension engineers and tuners and for non-specialist mechanics who want to carry out targeted interventions.

ATHENA STRENGTHENS ITS RANGE OF FORK SPARE PARTS

With the introduction of hydraulic bushings and washers, Athena reaffirms its commitment to constantly improving its offer of spare parts for motorcycle suspensions. These new components, together with the oil seals and dust seals already available in the Athena range, represent a complete and high-performance solution for those who want to improve the suspension of their motorcycle, both in terms of comfort and control.
