Late 2019 – The start of the second “StrikerX Due” was initiated. This bike will be a much more enhanced model than the first StrikerX Uno.
Specs:
- Custom Chromemolydeen frame and carbon subframe
- Dymag 1199 carbon rims
- Ohlins suspension front and rear
- Carbon body parts
- Engine: enlarged 944cc, high compression, Ducati twin valve engine
Where the first StrikerX Uno it’s main purpose was to exploit the possibilities of the frame and exterior design, the second model will, on top of exterior enhancements, be also given much more detail to the engine charateristics. The engine is now being modified to a 944 cc, high compression, light weight internal engine parts. Casings undone from manufacture imperfections.
The ultimate goal is to build the most responsive Cafe Racer in this class of motorcycles and will outperform any standard 900SS.
Raw carbon parts have been made
The frame is preliminairy positioned to measure the correct position for the rear shock brackets.
Next Stage, CAD & 3D printing
The next step in the developement is that I final got the time to learn Fushion360 which is very helpful in designing straight and better looking custom parts.
The most urgent part is the newly designed shock strut assembly. This little part has to be welded onto the rear bridge to fix the new Ohlins shock to the frame. After I designed the part it was time to put it into reality with the 3D printer to see if the parts will fit in real life.
