dieseltaylor Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I had not even thought of this alternative steering! Boutique Italian motorcycle company Vyrus is hoping to cause a real shake-up in top-level racing by entering its radically unorthodox Vyrus 986 M2 Factory in the heavily standardized Moto2 competition. With the same weight, engine, tires and electronics as its opponents, the Vyrus bike is more or less a controlled experiment in the racetrack effectiveness of hub-center steering. It will be the first time in decades that we've seen a machine enter top-level racing without a set of traditional telescopic forks at the front end. If it succeeds, it has a real chance at causing a suspension revolution in the sportsbike world. Oh, and there's streetbike and kit versions available too. Very exciting news. http://www.gizmag.com/vyrus-986-m2-factory-moto2-hub-center-racebike/17837 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
