EONE Suspension Kit for Energica's Performance Bikes Range
In addition to being one of New England's premier performance centers and engine tuners, Gardner, Massachusetts based Rob's Dyno Service is also a major player in the suspension market.
Last year, AMD featured new performance shock absorbers and front fork kits for Indian models. Developed by Rob's Dyno Service in collaboration with Mooresville, NC based Jeff Ryan, they make for a technically advanced, durable, dyno-tested and reliably responsive front and rear suspension system for Indian Big Twins.
The development of suspension set-ups on a performance and handling system basis is the Rob Swartz hallmark, and he takes the same approach to another enterprise he is building - Energica of New England.
Noted for their advanced technology, the Italian made Energica brand was the original 'spec' bike for the FIM Electric Motorcycle World Cup - the competition that has now graduated to FIM World Championship status. Just as Energica was an early adopter and seeing the potential for road-going electric performance and race bikes, so too Rob Swartz has been an 'early adopter' signing up as an Energica dealer and has been in the vanguard of opening up the street performance and aftermarket potential of high-performance electric street bikes.
His commitment to enhancing the performance of electric motorcycles has seen him build and offer an advanced suspension range tailored to meet the needs of both street and track riders. Collaborating with industry leaders, Energica has "redefined motorcycle suspension systems, providing unparalleled adjustability and improved handling."
Rob's product range of choice is based around Andreani Monotube front fork internals upgrades mated to Öhlins rear shocks.
The Andreani Monotube upgrade is designed specifically for the Marzocchi front forks of the kind that Energica uses as OEM fitment and is aid to "substantially transform the stock setup, offering sophisticated improvements aimed at both street and track applications," says Rob.
Enhanced adjustability allows riders to fine-tune their fork setup with precision, improving handling with each click of adjustment, "yielding a noticeable difference in the motorcycle's handling. The tailored riding experience they deliver offers 40 mm more travel compared to the standard bike, enhancing the motorcycle's versatility and performance."
Customized to Energica's specifications for Energica of New England, the Öhlins rear shock "takes the riding experience to the next level by offering a degree of customized shock absorber adjustability specification that was previously unavailable to Energica riders.
"Our versatile solution includes a one-inch lowering kit option for riders seeking a different stance and center of gravity without compromising on cornering clearance or handling.
"On our test bike, our own Energica EsseEsse9+, it showcases the profound transformation achievable with these suspension upgrades. Despite not being a typical track motorcycle, the improved handling was unanimously praised. The expertise of the Energica team that we have been able to leverage is the same team that has made a name for Energica here in the United States, known for working on high-profile podium placing projects like Stefano Mesa’s EVA Ribelle RS Super Hooligan bike.
The EONE suspension kit "is set to revolutionize the experience for Energica motorcycles following its May 1, 2024, public release - with hugely positive early rection."

Rob's Dyno Service is said to be the only Energica establishment on the East Coast of the United States that is equipped with a genuine suspension dyno - "which allows us to ensure that each setup is optimized for maximum performance.
"The detailed comparison charts that we readily make available demonstrate the significant benefits over stock suspension setups, validating the promise of a significantly enhanced riding experience."
