Best Suspensions/Shocks
MOTION-E18
Motion Ride

MOTION-E18

MOTION-E18 fork is based on 3 international patents that brings a unique design but more important confidence and comfort to the rider. 

This is the only one fork in the market to have the antidive technology which gives to the rider more confidence: the fork never suffers from diving when braking, so always has 100% of its travel ready to absorb impacts.
A standard fork dives under braking, losing up to 80% of its travel, and therefore shock absorbing capabilities. The Motion fork has been specially conceived to solve this problem and does not compress when braking.
The Motion fork FRAME (1st patent) uses energy from braking to automatically and instantly compensate the forces generated by the transfer of mass, that tries to compress the fork.

In addition, MOTION has developed a specific spring called the WAVE (2nd patent): a pulled curved composite blade offering a perfect progressive suspension curve. No risk of damper or spring heat or leak. In addition, the absence of friction results in more comfort and grip.

The FLOW (3rd patent) is an oil based shock absorber, developed internally at Motion using a thru shaft technology, and integrated cooling system and is specially conceived to have no friction.

  • High molecular weight
  • Low osmolarity
  • High solubility

Characteristics common to starches (amylopectins) of other products, but significantly improved. The speed of gastric emptying and its rapid absorption allow cyclodextrins to be considered an excellent source as a sports drink.

The peculiarity that Ciclodextrina OXYPRO has when it comes to its absorption by the body is that it is carried out progressively, releasing insulin gradually, and allowing in this scenario the coexistence even of free fatty acids used as an energy source, There is an energy parallel with the glucose units. Result ?: Effective carbohydrate absorption and markedly superior performance

Cyclodextrin OXYPRO arrives to become the reference sports drink, of high solubility and rapid emptying gastric, to enter the bloodstream in a fleeting and effective way, while maintaining high blood sugar levels, and without inhibiting fat burning. These characteristics make it the optimal drink for activities of high energy demand and maximum performance.

Who can benefit from OXYPRO Cyclodextrin?
Isotonic PLUS of OXYPRO (cyclodextrin) is also known as 'highly branched cyclic dextrin', it is a type of carbohydrate from the enzymatic degradation of starch, resulting in a series of cyclic oligosaccharides, and obtaining a set of glucose units of toroidal structure.

The properties that are achieved with this molecular redistribution in space are:

  • Athletes looking for a source of energy during their workouts that has low osmolarity
  • Ideal to take before or after physical exercise and replenish glycogen stores.
