R1 TR1KE 1000cc

Specifications

CHASSIS

The chassis is a fully triangulated steel space frame, designed to achieve an extremely high level of strength and torsional rigidity. The main tubulars are arranged efficiently to absorb the loads at the node points – such as the roll hoop and the top of the suspension connection points. The design used computer simulated loads which was then refined through actual testing.

DIMENSIONS

Length: 8.83 ft (2.69meters)

Width: 5.83 ft (1.78 meters)

Height: 3.67 ft (1.12 meters)

Weight: About 735 lbs (334 kilos)

BRAKES

No front brakes are provided in the kit. Wilwood or Hi Spec 4 pot calipers, rotors, and pads (available as an optional extra) are recommended. The rear brake rotor is sourced from R1 donor. Hi Spec rear caliper, mounting bracket and cable are optional extras.

POWER

The standard power plant is the 150-180 hp (depending upon year of manufacture) 998cc engine and 6 speed transmission obtained from the Yamaha YZK R1 donor. These units are not the most powerful in their field but offer excellent value for the money. With 150 – 180 hp on tap in a car that weighs in at 735 lbs, this results in a horsepower to weight ratio of about 4.2 to 5.0 – supercar territory indeed.

HANDLING

Ride quality is always a personal preference, so the tR1ke features fully adjustable suspension settings. The all round coil over shock absorbers (the front pair being provided in the kit, the rear sourced from the donor) can be adjusted in ride height and damping. Basically the perfect feel can be achieved to suit all drivers. The standard steering rack, provided in the kit, supplies 3.5 turns lock to lock but a quicker 2.4 turns lock to lock option is available.
