The WABI Goggle, with the beauty of only the essential!
WABI, the name, refers to a principle of Japanese aesthetics representing "the graceful beauty of humble simplicity". It refers to the state of consciousness experienced in the wild, when one feels so tiny before its immensity, appreciating the essentials and catching glimpses of beauty and harmony everywhere, feeling peace all around.
It is a stylish accessory with classic plain lines, with echoes of the past giving rise to a modern product. Get it now!

SAFETY
The ARIETE lens will withstand a 6 mm. steel ball hitting it at 135 miles per hour! The anti-fog treatment withstands more than twice the minimum requirement of standard EN 168: 2001.16
Ariete goggles and lenses are certified according to European standards EN 1938:2010; they are provided with Anti-fog treatment, which is optional under European standard EN 1938:2010. The label on the goggles provides the transparency categories of Ariete lenses.

Gabeldichtungen von Ariete heben sich von allen anderen marktüblichen Gabeldichtungen durch die außergewöhnliche Qualität und die Einzigartigkeit des Werkstoffes ab, aus dem sie hergestellt werden: das Karboxylelastomer XNBR.
Dieses Gemisch weist hervorragende Abriebs und Temperaturbeständigkeit sowie Beständigkeit gegenüber den Ölen und Zusätzen auf, die bei modernen Gabeln zum Einsatz kommen.
Gabeldichtungen werden in Längsrichtung am Schaft beansprucht und sind erheblicher Reibung und Reibungshitze ausgesetzt, welche das Gummiteil, das bereits durch die chemischen Angriffe durch Öl und die entsprechenden Zusätze auf eine harte Probe gestellt wird, zusätzlich beanspruchen.
Der normale Nitrilgummi NBR, der in der Regel von allen Gabeldichtungsherstellern eingesetzt wird, stellt eine mittelmäßige, wirtschaftlich bedingte Wahl dar.
Die technischen Mitarbeiter von Ariete haben nach grundlegenden Untersuchungen, Experimenten und mit der Erfahrung, die Firma im Laufe ihrer sechzigjährigen Tätigkeit gesammelt hat, für diese Gabeldichtungen das Karboxylelastomer XNBR eingeführt, das gegenüber dem herkömmlichen NBR folgende Vorzüge bietet:
Aufgrund unserer hochentwickelten Produktionstechnologie, können wir den von Ariete Kunden ein Produkt für höchste Anforderungen zu einem wettbewerbsfähigen Preis anbieten, obwohl der verwendete Rohstoff im gegensatz zu anderen Rohstoffen fast das Doppelte kostet.

ARISIL Spezialfett für Dichtungsringe
Die Gabeldichtung ARI wird aus einem spezifischen Gummigemisch hergestellt, welches beständig gegenüber Öls und den entsprechenden Zusätzen in Federungen ist. Dieses Gemisch ist vollkommen anders als das Material, das in der Regel für Wellendichtungen verwendet wird, da es der chemischen Aggression des Öls und zudem der mechanischen Beanspruchung in Längsrichtung durch die Gabel standhalten muss. Unsere Gabeldichtungen ARI haben zudem eine besondere Struktur mit unterschiedlich dicken Dichtungslippen, um die Haltbarkeit zu verbessern und gleichzeitig die Reibung des Schafts im Dichtungsring so weit wie möglich zu reduzieren.
Im Laufe der Jahre hat sich die Wichtigkeit eines Trennmittels zwischen Schaft und Gummiring herausgestellt, mit der die Reibung so weit wie möglich reduziert werden soll, ohne die Dichtigkeit zu beeinträchtigen. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, haben wir verschiedene Fette getestet und unsere Wahl fiel schließlich auf ein spezielles Silikonfett, das in den USA hergestellt wird und speziell für Anwendungen bei Kontakt zwischen Gummi und Metall in den beweglichen Organen der NASA-Raumfahrzeuge entwickelt wurde. Der Vorzug dieses Spezialfetts, dem wir den Namen ARISIL gegeben haben liegt darin, dass die Lebensdauer der Dichtung verlängert, jedoch die wesentlichen Merkmale im Bezug auf chemische Beständigkeit und Elastizität beibehalten werden. Aus diesem Grund liegt allen unseren Packungen ARI FORK OIL SEALS eine Einmaldosis ARISIL bei, die für den korrekten Einbau der 2 Gabeldichtungen reicht.

Ariete BASALTO handlebar grip is the new lock-on grip for MTB with a pattern that enhances the technical fundamentals of a sport bike handlebar grip. Designed to offer maximum grip while riding in challenging conditions, the Basalto line of handlebar grips offer the Rider the pleasant sensation of a solid, natural bond between the ground and the handlebars. Designed by Alberto Caimi.

-Inner diam. 22 mm, outer diam. 31 mm, length 130 mm.
-Compound: medium, absorbs and neutralizes vibration
-Dynamic cushion given by a yielding central body
-Excellent shock absorber effect due to the highest quality thermoplastic elastomers
-Pattern obtained by D.R.E. (Design Rendering Engineering) laser engraving technology
-Aluminum lock-on with ED Coating (Electrophoretic Deposition) system
-M4 stainless steel screw, easy to install
-Weather resistant without cracking, and keeps its elasticity even at very low temperatures

LONG DESCRIPTION: The technical designs of this new product were inspired by the natural elements in which an off-road bike normally rides. Stones, pavements, rough terrain, but even more so the lava rocks, which with their typical primeval look provide a decidedly innovative characteristic to its design, becoming the distinctive point of these new Ariete handlebar grips.

Designed to offer the best grip while riding in challenging conditions, the handlebar grips of the Basalto line provide the Rider with the pleasant feeling of a solid and natural bond between the ground and the handlebars, a bond that translates into a perfect continuity with the outdoor space, and on which our technicians, in collaboration with Designer Alberto Caimi, have focused to define the essential construction elements.

The pattern is the result of the study of the geological lines of magmatic rocks, with the surface motif of the handlebar grips being obtained by carving into the mold with the D.R.E. Design Rendering Engineering laser engraving technology. At first glance, all the individual elements are visible in relief to show how precisely this new texture was created, hinting at the idea of tiny rock chips on rubber.Beyond just grip and aesthetics were considered, and the Basalto handlebar grips are made from a very high quality family of thermoplastic elastomers, which, thanks to their molecular structure, based on styrene block copolymers, give the product not only durability, but at also the elasticity needed to achieve that much sought-after shock absorber effect in the harshest conditions.

A handlebar grip made of these materials is extremely stable to UV, Ozone and weathering, and moreover, it retains its elasticity even at very low temperatures. Also ecologically important, it is possible to separate the rubber parts from the metal sealing ring, the Basalto handlebar grip can be properly disposed of after its use.

The feeling while riding is that of a cylindrical handlebar grip, apparently neutral in terms of stress distribution in the different areas of hand support, yet the central area has a more yield, ready to give back to the Rider the effect of a dynamic cushion acting on the forces developed by the strong pressure exerted by the hands.

The body of the Basalto handlebar grip is designed for easy assembly on the handlebar. The presence of the clamping collar makes the system fast and effective; and the clamping screw is M4, made of steel and includes a threadlock treatment, installed with a tightening torque of 3.0 N/m.The collar is made of aluminum painted with an ED Coating treatment and can be colored and customized upon the customer’s request.

THERMO SYSTEM: ADAPTIVE AND INTEGRATED

The possibility of having heated grips is now increasingly popular as the trend is to use E-bikes in even colder temperatures. The Thermo System is a fully integrated product that utilizes the electronic controller already on the bike and provides the signals for setting optimal grip temperatures.

The advantage of the Thermo project lies in the wide possibility of customization by the drive unit manufacturer. From the display, you can manage all of the information relating to the grip temperatures in a completely integrated manner. The sensor in the grips can detect the temperature of the system and adjust the electronic circuit for accurate temperature management.

The Thermo heated grip has been designed to allow the minimal energy use. During the operation the system is able to maintain the control of the temperature set by the user, adapting the power supplied. The adaptive management is based on the principle of continuous temperature regulation through the exchange of data with the control electronics. Thanking to this system, the battery consumption is absolutely negligible.
