Bitubo's Story
Founded in 1963 by Scipione Mardollo, Bitubo immediately established itself as a dynamic company on anything related to the control of vibrations of any type, creating cutting-edge, innovative damping systems.
Bitubo extended its knowledge to applications such as artificial limbs, seismic dampers, damping systems for oceanic platforms, including vibration dampers for naval engines.
Since 1975, Bitubo has imposed itself at the forefront of the motorcycle market with the innovation of a famous pair of shock absorbers connected by two compensating rubber pipes – hence the name “Bitubo” – that were immediately adopted and raced by the greatest Champions.
In the track racing, the 1st World Championship was won in 1979 by E. Lazzarini in the 50cc Class, repeated the year after.
In the 125 GP class, the 1993 World Championship was won by D. Raudies, then runner-up in the 1994 season.
Among the high technology accessories, we offer Steering dampers with Nitrogen compensating coaxial chamber (Patent since 1992).
In 1993 Bitubo presents the rst world fork with separate chamber with a “big piston" system.
In 1998 Bitubo introduced the revolutionary Mono 4 Regolazioni rear shock absorber. Protected by international patents, it immediately becomes the benchmark, relevant even today, in the world of suspensions technology.
In 2000 Bitubo presents the HDX00 Racing Fork, the 1st complete fork designed and created by Bitubo to revolutionize the existing technology. Completely adjustable and pressurized (nitrogen), with a not rounded outer tube and a patented big piston system
, it is adopted into the SBK World Championship, and in 2003 it wins the Italian SBK Championship.
In 2004, Bitubo collaborated with Alex Zanardi and won the CIV with the Lightspeed team.
In 2007 he participated in the Suzuka 8h event.
2008 and 2011 saw Jason Crump bring Bitubo to victory in the Speedway championship.
In 2009 Bitubo has patented a significant, innovative hydraulic system, called FPS. FPS has quickly set new track records, podiums and victories in competitions and championships. FPS is used in the new ECH29 and new RDH fork,and it is the first existing cartridge in the market with hydraulic spring preload. In the same year, Gary Mccoy took the Triumph podium equipped with Bitubo in the WSBK and Cruciani won the CIV in the SSTK1000 category.
In 2011 Bitubo won the World Supersport Championship with Chaz Davies on Yamaha YZF-R6 of the Team ParkinGo.
In 2012 Bitubo presented the 1st worldwide semiactive electroereological system for suspension (ER) for motorcycles as well as its first system of adaptive suspension (DS).
In 2013 Bitubo has won again the World Supersport Championship with Sam Lowes on Yamaha YZF-R6 of the Team Yakhnich Motorsport and celebrates 50 years of activity.
In 2015, tablets were introduced to manage and improve the flow of information and reduce paper consumption from a Green Economy perspective. In the same year he started the collaboration with the non-profit organization Motoforpeace.
Michael Dunlop won the Isle of Man Senior TT championship with 133,256 MPH lap records in 2016.
