A bit of history on SHOWA

The company SHOWA extension was founded in 2009. Since its creation, the company has specialized in suspensions for aeronautics. Forced to abandon the sector following the Second World War, it then turned to the automobile industry.

The shift to two wheels is made with the partnership Honda and the supply of suspensions of the famous Super Cub in 1958.

In the 1960s, the company continued its expansion by turning to the production of shock absorbers for automobiles and then even embarking on Formula 1. The following decade, the manufacturer thus becomes the supplier of the Honda Civic and begins to supply European motorcycle manufacturers. The technique then evolves gradually, especially with the appearance of inverted forks in the 80s. In 1993, Showa Manufacturing merges with Seiki Giken and becomes the Showa Corporation while continuing its expansion throughout the world with the creation of subsidiaries in Asia, Europe and America.

In 2017, Showa achieves a great technological breakthrough by developing its first electronic suspension system EERA (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) which comes to equip the Kawasaki ZX-10 SE. A system that will be par later adopted par many motorcycles, starting par those of Honda.

Among the brands that have been equipped by Showa we can cite Harleys, Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, Triumph or even .
