|
 | | |
HT Rally Raid works hard on the development of a new kit for the Honda CRF 450X. Most important characteristics are a low center of gravity and a good air conduction around the engine and the radiators with makes sure an optimal cooling is realized. Despite a total fuel capacity of 32 liters, the bike still has the same measurements as the standard CRF450X.
As a material for the fuel tanks polyethyleen is being used. An impact-resistant and very strong synthetic which is also being used for the original fuel tank. The first prototype is now undergoing testwork, the concept is very innovative and well thought-out. Thanks to the shape of the front fueltanks the center of gravity is lowered, which has a positive effect on the handling of the bike.
HT Rally Raid has many years of experience in the world of rally-raid, and is strongly represented with Team Honda Europe in the South-America Dakar rally and the Honda CRF 450X since 2006. The current rallykit of HT Rally Raid has been used by 90 per cent of the Hondariders in the last editions of the Dakar to complete satisfacion.
The new kit will be introduced at a very competitive price and expected to be available from half September. For more informations please visit the official website at [ www.ht-rally-raid.com ].
