"BGM BRINGS A CLASSIC BACK TO THE MARKET"

Even that Scootering magazine are our new ones bgm tires not escaped. In the current issue you can find a nice report on our classic tires, here they are compared with the legendary MICHELIN ACS, and justifiably so.

“BGM BRINGS A CLASSIC BACK TO THE MARKET

bgm has launched a new tire that is a look back at the old days of scooter riding, but with modern technology. Simply referred to as Classic, the tread pattern is similar to that of the Michelin ACS. For those who can't remember: the ACS was one of the best tread patterns ever designed for the scooter and offers good handling characteristics not only on dry, but also on wet roads. For years it was standard equipment on both the Vespa and the Lambretta. Even today, original copies of the ACS can fetch huge sums of money as owners want that retro look.

Michelin destroyed the molds as early as the late 1980s and so it was banned in the history books. Fortunately, BGM brought them back to life with the company's new design. The Classic has a speed of up to 150kmh / 93mph which is very impressive. This is due to a reinforced carcass that not only improves stability at high speed but also when cornering. Cornering is even more supported by the V-shape of the pro? Le compared to the U-shape, which enables more surface contact as the lean angle is increased. Using a revised blend, they're super grippy in all conditions. That means not only that owners of standard machines who want the classic tire look can use the bene? T, but also those with tuned engines. The Classic is made in Germany and is available in the traditional size 3.50-10. These tires are now sold in the UK and many dealers already have them in stock.

BGM RELAUNCHES A CLASSIC

bgm has launched a new tire which is a throwback to the old days of scootering but using modern technology. Simply labeled the Classic, the tread pattern is similar to that of the Michelin ACS. For those that can't remember, the ACS was one of the best tread patterns ever designed for the scooter, not only giving good road-handling properties in the dry but also in wet conditions. For years it was standard issue equipment for both the Vespa and Lambretta. Even today, original examples of the ACS can fetch huge sums as owners want that retro look. Michelin destroyed the molds back in the late 1980s and so it was consigned to the history books. Thankfully BGM has brought it back to life with the company's new design. The Classic is speed-rated up to 150kmh / 93mph, which is very impressive. This is down to a strengthened carcass which not only improves stability at high speed but also when cornering. Cornering is aided even further by the V shape of the pro? Le compared with the U shape, which allows more surface contact as the lean angle is increased. Using a revised compound, they are super grippy in any conditions. Not only does this mean that owners with standard machines who want that classic tire look will bene? T but also those with tuned engines can use them as well. The Classic is made in Germany and available in the traditional 3.50-10 size. These tires are now being distributed in the UK with many dealers already stocking them. For more info: www.scooter-center.com

Test Vespa GTS shock absorbers

Modern Vespa, News, Press, Vespa

Scooter & Sport Motorroller Magazin tests suspension struts for Vespa GTS

In the current issue 6.2018, Scooter & Sport is testing four Suspension struts for Vespa GTS Models. One thing comes out very clearly and also reflects our opinion: The original Vespa GTS chassis can definitely be “improved”.

bgm shock absorber: recommendation of the editors

In the test of the Scooter & Sport magazine in issue 6.2018 our bgm shock absorbers have also been put through their paces.

The magazine praises them bgm struts for Vespa GTS and awards the seal "Editor's recommendation"

"Installation: unproblematic, fits perfectly".
The other test impressions of the front strut, "bgm PRO F16 Competition”Are for example that the“ damping gets a lot out of the design-related short travel of a Vespa short swing arm ”. And our bgm damper “can cope with all the usual bumps, transverse joints and bumps in everyday German asphalt.
Setting tip from the editors: “Compression in the middle and rebound in the hard area worked best”.

At the back, the testers have the cheaper option "bgm R1 Sport”Installed. The bgm shock absorbers were “the most comfortable rear struts in this comparison ”and“ enable the otherwise so stubborn drive train swinging to move unexpectedly ”. Conclusion: "Editor's recommendation".

The overall impression is that the bgm struts from Scooter Center "clearly the comfort winner" are. “The bgm, however, keep their poise even in brisk passages with demanding bumps in the road”.

These struts were obviously developed and tuned by people with Vespa experience.Scooter & Sport Magazine

We can only agree with the last sentence in Scooter & Sport magazine about our GTS chassis: "These struts were obviously developed and tuned by people with Vespa experience."

Oliver Kluger Vespa Racing Nurburgrin 2009

Scooter race Nürburgring 2009 “Cologne Course” classic scooters Vespa & Lambretta

Scooter race on the Nürburgring 2009

Since 2004, regular scooter races have taken place on the Nürburgring again.

We owe this opportunity to the MSC Porz, who offers a “regularity run” for classic scooters as part of the Cologne course. For most of us that means: evenly full throttle! ;-)

The SCOOTER CENTER has been represented by the racing team every year since 2004.

On Saturday was heavy rain in the dry SCOOTER CENTER Box grilled and screwed in the paddock.
We were able to greet many friends and familiar faces again. The hard core was swept out of the box at 1:30 - after all, the first training session was scheduled for 10:40 on Sunday.

Sunday came up with the best weather. During training we had 20 minutes to determine the fastest drivers and then to determine the starting grid. In the first row of the grid there were 1 starters from SCOOTER CENTER Team (Harry Barlow & Christian Schneider).

If the weather was fine, repairs and maintenance work could be carried out in the open air after the first training session. After the SCK grill had given everything again at noon, the race started.

The Green Hell took its toll: of 65 starters, only 45 made it to the finish (cancellations, no accidents)

The SCOOTER CENTER Team was able to record several successes:

Place 2 Christian Schneider (Regularity evaluation)
Tanya Kluger - fastest woman in the field ;-)

The next appointment at the Nürburgring for classic scooters is September 13 “Renoldus Sprint”

The SCOOTER CENTER is looking forward to it!
