~ New kid on the block ~ warning not vmx
« on: October 17, 2013, 12:02:11 pm »



CARBON FIBRE FMX BIKE
 The Unit Skycraft is the world's first purpose built freestyle motocross bike. It was officially launched to an international audience at the American International Motorcycle Expo in Florida and is the brainchild of Unit co-founder Ian Everest. The team at Triple Eight Race Engineering Australia, led by acclaimed Technical Director Ludo Lacroix engineered the bike, with the central goal being weight reduction.

 Skycraft is constructed almost entirely from carbon fibre and titanium components. At just 75 kilograms, the bike is over 25 percent lighter than a standard motocross bike.

 Skycraft specifications:
• 75 kilograms
• Uses existing powerplant and suspension setup typical to FMX
• Carbon fibre monocoque frame with integrated fuel tank
• Carbon fibre swingarm with integrated silencer
• Ultra-slim carbon fibre bodywork
• Grab handles integrated into carbon fibre body
• Carbon fibre rims
• Compact front-mounted cooling system with single radiator core
• Custom-built titanium expansion chamber
• Full titanium axle and bolt kit
• Titanium shock spring
• Front air suspension
• Unit magnum grips (patented design)
• Increased/adjustable turning angle
Best is in the West !!

Has some interesting features, a quick google search shows was first mooted in 03 with many expecting it to be 'next year'. Still only a concept bike and be watch to see if it makes it into production and what is retained.
