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.
