| A German Version of the American Dream |
| |
Since 1985, when Wilbers launched business in a few rented rooms, we have committed ourselves to the development of quality suspension systems for motorcycles and sidecars. During the first 10 years the north-slope of the German Nürburgring, also known as “the green hell”, served as our testing laboratory where we exercised adjustments and long-term tests. Later we realised that our products might even be better tested if we brought them to the most unfriendly climates and hostile environments. We decided to install our shock absorbers into desert-rally motorbikes and offered them to globetrotters who travelled around the world. |

Thus, our shocks participated in a summer rally to Siberia, all the way through mud and bog. Such unfriendly territory takes it out as much on the suspension system as on all the add-on parts so that you have to multiply any driven kilometre with 10 to describe the actual wear off. Afterwards the same year Wilbers suspension systems made a winter trip to Siberia, at chilling temperatures of minus 45° centigrade. As you can see, nature provides us with the best testing ground to experiment with the shock absorbers oil and piston rod behaviour under extreme conditions. A piston rod machined of inferior material is turning so brittle at minus 45° that it is likely to break when strained. At present our racing-team has become our mobile laboratory in which every new development is intensively tested. As part oft the Wilbers family, Wilbers Workshop GmbH is responsible for development, service and the measurement and adjustment of suspension systems. Wilbers Products Production GmbH oversees the production of our own shock absorber as well as its further development.
Last but not least, Wilbers Products GmbH, somehow the mother company, is responsible for dispatch and delivery to more than 23 countries where licensed dealers spread our products further on. |
