With its origins based firmly in N.A.S.A. development the W.S.2 coating is the latest addition to Maico Internationals armoury for the M.M.X. and is likely to be a permanent Feature on the option?s list across the complete range of bikes.

Appearing as a rather bland grey in colour, the coating has a far less glamorous finish than the titanium nitride option and has already been tested on a motorcycle in the U.K. providing some very encouraging results with a friction reduction in excess of sixty percent.
