About Eibach Suspension Technology
Eibach Motorcycle Springs - maximum two wheel suspension performance. With the extreme performance of today’s motorcycles, both on & offroad, proper suspension setup is essential.
Front & rear springs must be matched and tuned for rider weight, ability, riding style plus road/track conditions. Eibach has applied its legendary talents to making your motorcycle perform & feel better than you've ever dreamed. The first step in dialling in your motorcycle suspension is selecting the proper spring combination. Whether you are a serious racer or weekend warrior, no other modification can affect the performance of your motorcycle as significantly as a properly tuned suspension. Over our history we've set the industry standards for quality control, consistent performance & advanced suspension engineering - we apply every bit of that expertise to perfecting our springs for high-performance motorcycles.
For the motocross, off-road or dual-sport rider, Eibach Moto Springs (EMS) can help you carve through turns & fly by your competition by reducing bottoming, providing better feel & feedback, delivering a smoother, more compliant ride & helping your bike hook up better on the throttle. For the road racer, EMS can help you brake later, get on the gas sooner & increase your lean angle by maintaining cornering clearance plus preventing excessive dive under braking. At the same time it can help maintain proper chassis geometry under acceleration, increasing your confidence level at the limit of traction. For the street rider, EMS is vital to tailor your machine to your exact weight, riding style & preferred riding conditions, delivering a stable, compliant ride, improving cornering clearance, reducing dive, squat & bottoming. In many cases, using stiffer springs front & rear actually improves ride quality while it takes handling to the next level of performance.
- Precision Tolerances - the tightest in the industry
- Ultra-Lightweight for reduced unsprung mass
- Maximum Deflection in combination with smallest block heights
- Precision Planparallel and Square End configurations under unloaded & loaded conditions
- Lowest Side Loads with load center ideally located relative to spring axis
- Exceptional Block Resistance and durability
Eibach Race Springs - it was the 1980's in Germany when Wilfried Eibach engineered the first designs of today’s legendary Eibach Race Springs. We still have a “Typenliste”, just one sheet of paper from 1986, which pictures the first 50 ERS part-numbers, all metric & 60mm Inner Diameter. This basic approach was spot-on, as even today these historical part-numbers are part of our complete Eibach Race Spring System though a few differences have to be recognized. The quantity of individual part-numbers has grown from 50 to over 1300 while early designs are consistently being improved in line with superior materials & manufacturing technology. The ERS line has evolved over the years to be the world's most prominent, comprehensive & superior. If there's an application which cannot be covered by the Eibach Race Spring System, we offer a bespoke design & manufacture service.
Eibach Race Springs are all manufactured in series production & often repeated, so Eibach constantly achieves the most linear spring characteristic (rate) while maintaining the lowest tolerances & the highest quality in the industry. Based on decades of experience, Eibach has optimized their products to realize the lowest weight & smallest solid height – therefore increasing the maximum travel, block stability, linearity of the load / deflection graph, sag stability & dynamic durability.
- Over 1,300 single components ready & in stock on 5 continents - main & tender springs, metric & standard, various auxiliary race suspension accessories
- Single Main Springs with highest rate linearity & lowest rate tolerance
- Progressive Characteristics via set-up of different springs serially - double or even triple spring combinations
- Extreme Low Weights achieved through super hi-tensile materials & manufacturing technology
- Smallest Solid Heights, maximized spring travels & higher maximum loads
- Spring Surface Stabilization through specialized shot peening
- High Quality Corrosion Protection by phosphating & epoxy coating
- Springs Printed with part-number (which translates as Length, Inner Diameter, Rate)
- Every ERS Spring Preset to block dimensions
- Smallest Tolerances & precise plane parallelism of spring ends
- High Dynamic Durability under motorsport conditions - sag resistant
Suspension Tuning with ERS - every suspension tune is a compromise! Our ERS System offers race engineers multiple set-up options when swapping springs, making Eibach the leading brand in motorsport springs around the world. Early in a racer's career, they are confronted with the challenges of over or understeer. On one hand, the spring system should be compliant & soft enough to compensate for bumpy roads or tracks. This compliance assures permanent road-contact of wheel & tire guaranteeing grip & traction. On the other hand, the spring system must be firm enough to reduce body roll, squat & dive of the vehicle during cornering, acceleration & braking. Thus, we offer an endless variety of spring combinations utilizing our ERS System:
- 2 (or even 3) ERS Main Springs of different rates can be stacked one after another, resulting in a progressive system - various options are possible in serial hook-up
- 1 main spring with a tender spring (linear or progressive)
- 2 different main springs plus a tender spring (linear or progressive) - similar options are available in parallel hook-up
