ergo.corsa custom rearsets overview

ergo.corsa custom rearsets

 

ergo.corsa custom rearsets are now available. These are not adjustable, rather custom made for you and your bike. The brackets are machined to your specifications, positioning the peg where you want it. The footpeg length and amount of grip are specified by you. Unlike all the other rearsets on the market, ergo.corsa can lower as well as raise the pegs (relative to OEM). You will get very light, simple, functional rearsets made just for you.

 

features

 

footpeg position

Today’s wide selection of adjustable rearsets allow movement of the footpeg up or back, but generally do not allow movement forward or downward.  On sportbikes of old, which were designed to actually be rideable on the street, this made sense.  These days sportbikes are very nearly racebikes as delivered from the factory.  The pegs are high and the bars low, and typically these machines are designed with a certain size person in mind who is not very tall.  Regardless of  your size, ergo.corsa rearsets will allow you to postion your feet so you can be more comfortable and ride faster and harder.

footpeg length

Most pegs are about 100mm long.  This is fine for many setups, but in some cases when the rider desires the pegs to be lower, it becomes necessary to shorten the footpegs in order to maintain ground clearance.  It is surprising how short pegs can be without losing functionality.  When the bike’s lean angle exceeds 45 degrees, the length of the footpeg becomes more important than the position.  Envision a bike that is nearly horizontal and it becomes clear how important the length is for ground clearance.  Are you dragging your toes a lot but don’t like the idea of raising your pegs?  The answer is shorter pegs.  Your knee angle won’t change, but you’ll be dragging your toes a lot less. 

 

footpeg grip

This is a very important characteristic.  Some riders like to be able to move a foot around while others prefer pegs that bite deeply into the boot sole.  This is a matter of personal preference, and so ergo.corsa offers the rider pegs that are the correct length and have the right amount of grip.

 

engineering

ergo.corsa components are designed, with copius input from racers, by a mechanical engineer with significant experience in the field of mechanical design, analysis, and testing.  We gaurantee our parts will not fail in normal use and will survive most crashes without catastrophic failure.  However we aim to make the rearsets not so strong as to be capable of damaging the mounting points on the motorcycle frame.  In a violent enough crash the rearsets will break without transfering excessive loads into the frame.

 

rider support & satisfaction

We want you to be comfortable on your bike.  We will make our best attempt at finding the right position for your feet.  This of course is highly dependent on you and your riding experience.  We realize that there is a chance that you may not be happy, and if this is the case we will make it right, even if it means making a whole new set of parts.
