Finger followers
for extreme stresses

SCHRANER Schweiz AG manufactures highly-precise forged parts for one of the world's best racing teams for use during the Dakar Rally.

The Austrian global market leader for Enduro and Motocross motorbikes does not compromise on the quality of its end products. Being the multiple winner of the legendary Dakar Rally in the motorbike class is proof enough that it is worth focusing on perfect functions and high stress endurance during extreme weather and ground conditions.

When manufacturing highly resistant finger followers, the company has for many years relied on the expertise and precision of SCHRANER Schweiz AG.

Peak performance and engine speed strength are among the key features of racing engines. Only the best and toughest materials can withstand the extreme stresses, both in terms of their mechanical properties and of temperature resistance.

In order to remain in the lead in major events like the Dakar Rally, the engines must be reliably able to run at the limit and the engine parts must have the following properties:

Based on a customer drawing, the team at SCHRANER produced a perfectly tailored forged die for the rocker arm at its internal tool workshop. We were able to forge the smallest radii with extremely thin walls in order to guarantee a very light component.

The components are performing so well and reliably at the manufacturer that several racing teams are now relying on SCHRANER forged components for very small-batch series, but also for medium quantities.

Whenever racing engines, whether on 2 wheels or on 4 wheels, are driving around a circuit or ploughing their way through the desert, the heart of the vehicle will contain components by SCHRANER Switzerland which achieve reliable peak performance - kilometre by kilometre, round by round.
