The Evolution of Sidecar Engineering
After two generations of sidecar enduro racing and countless titles throughout the years, we embarked on our journey into sidecar development and manufacturing in 2018. Our mission was to develop ready-to-race outfits based on existing motorcycle chassis. This approach not only provided a tried and tested base but also allowed us to maintain as many OEM components as possible, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance.
Not Just a One-Trick Pony
Despite being tailored for Enduro and Trail use, the unique design allows for various adjustments and changes, making it competitive for motocross as well. Key areas of adjustment include fork height, which can be lowered by 25mm, allowing fine-tuning of the steering feel and response. With the MK3 version, we also added a 25mm spacer to the chair wheel, increasing the track width and improving overall stability and control.
Superior Cornering Capability
Hundreds of hours of testing and countless revisions have led to making the MK3 one of the best handling machines in almost all conditions. Whether tackling hard forestry trails with roots and ruts or fast-paced hard-packed tracks with soft loamy corners, you can have absolute confidence in tackling every corner with 110%.
Unlike other machines, the MK3 boasts the tightest turning radius, achieved through a unique chassis design and finely tuned wheel geometry, rather than simply removing steering stops.
Exceptional Material Reliability
The chassis is made of T45, a high-strength carbon-manganese steel known for its superb blend of strength, ductility, and fatigue resistance. This makes it an ideal material for the chassis, offering a robust foundation for these unique vehicles. The tubing’s excellent mechanical properties and high strength-to-weight ratio enable the creation of a lightweight yet durable chassis, ensuring safety and performance.
The original bike chassis is seamlessly integrated by stripping back the original cross head and tying into both the frame and cross head at three points. To complement this, it is further strengthened by replacing the original cross head plating with 45% thicker plate. The lower chassis is also cut away, allowing the T45 tube to pass through both the front and rear of the original frame, greatly reducing any chance of failure.
Keep Cool Under Pressure
Machines like these are often pushed beyond their limits. Using today's CAD-aided fluid dynamics, we constructed a quad-pass radiator that outperforms single and dual-pass radiators with half the capacity. Combined with a Mino high-flow water pump and Spal fan incorporated into a purpose-built rad shroud, you can be sure that no matter how hard you push the machine, it will always stay cool. Keeping in line with the OEM style and design, it is all tied together with a set of custom silicone hoses specially made for the machine.
