Enea Bastianini tries “anti-vibration system” at Misano MotoGP test
During Monday’s Misano test, KTM’s Enea Bastianini experimented with a small swingarm mass damper following chatter issues at his home San Marino MotoGP weekend.
Ducati’s GP25 riders – Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia, and Fabio di Giannantonio – have been using a similar device this season, known as the ‘salad box’.
Mass dampers are banned in Moto2 and Moto3 but allowed in MotoGP, where it is commonly referred to as the ‘salad box’.
Despite making improvements to alleviate front vibration issues, Bastianini still faces challenges and hopes to see progress at new tracks.
The test session saw positive developments, with Bastianini finishing 12th and Tech3 team manager Nicolas Goyon praising the effectiveness of the ‘anti-vibration system’ that was tested.
