Matris Dampers, Italy is pleased to announce they will be supporting the 2008 Team EDR Performance Ducati 848 Super bike project!

www.MATRISDAMPERS.com

Matris Dampers of Italy is known in Europe as one of the top manufactures of the highest quality suspension components. They are now looking to further their product use in the United States with the help of EDR Performance.

Since starting in 1980 they have set out with a primary objective of producing the best suspension components for motorcycles. Their product ranges from simple steering damper kits to full on GP quality F43P N2 pressurized forks. Over the years they have won numerous titles and championships.

EDR Performance "We're really excited to see how they work for us. The info we have received from other teams in Europe using has been very encouraging. The quality in just the build alone is better than anything i have seen, not too mention they are almost works of art in just looks alone" Eric Dorn, owner of EDR Performance went on to say "We will be working very closely with Dave Hodges of GP Suspension and Barry Wressell of KFG Chassis with setup and development of the entire Matris line"

EDR Performance will be using Matris Dampers exclusively on their Ducat 848 superbike. The team will be using the extreme high end M05-R shock and their ALL Titanium bodied M4-R racing replica steering damper. We encourage you to stop by our shop or our pits in 2008 take a look at their stuff, it is truly a work of art in alloy craftsmanship!

The team is hoping to have a set of Matris's newly produced F43P Nitrogen pressurized Super bike forks for testing by summer.

hahah...Warren...nice! We actually got the ergonomics setup last night...and get this...THE BIKE WAS ON THE GROUND!!! (not a typo). JK. The crew has been working really hard in getting it done and finally sitting on her got me all excited (sorry for the dent in the tank...it'll buff right out).

The Matris stuff is BEAUTIFUL! I dig the orange spring and hope they leave it that color!

We got our suspension installed and found that the spring they sent was a bit on the soft side. I emailed them and 4 days later they got us FOUR new springs of all the rates with note "Hello, sorry if we installed a spring too soft for your liking, please let us know which one you end up using for our database, good luck in 2008" How cool is that? Sent us $500 is product (4 springs) from Italy the minute we informed them we might need a different spring. We got a great suspension company behind us and with Dave and Barry helping with the setup we should be set for 2008!

Grazie Matris!
