Malossi, a leader and a synonym of quality in the production of high-performance components dedicated to the
world of scooters, has incorporated all these years of technological development into one small, but very important,
component, ready to fit in the most classic scooter of all time, the legendary Vespa.
The new gear selector dedicated to classic “large frame” Vespas is a miniature masterpiece of mechanics that
incorporates the best of technology to produce a component with extremely high mechanical characteristics. It can
easily withstand far greater stresses than those to which the original component is subjected and is able to maintain
these characteristics over time.
The use of ultra-pure steel and a specific thermochemical treatment allows a very high surface hardness to be obtained,
combined with very high mechanical strength. These two features make the gear selector extremely resistant both to
wear from contact and the mechanical stresses to which it is subjected, especially in the case of high performance
engines.
The design, using highly sophisticated CAD CAM systems, has allowed us to review and optimise the gear selector
arm’s cam profile in order to obtain a greater fluidity, precision and safer use of the gear lever.
The stability and dimensional accuracy of the component are guaranteed within limits, which would otherwise
be unattainable, thanks to the use of a double-spindle CNC machining centre and to the rigid quality control
to which every single piece is subjected to ensure the quality and performance you expect from a Malossi
component.
