Multiple podium finishes for Jamie Perrin on-board the Chassis Factory“Chrome Light”
Press release Chassis Factory – British Superbike season 2019
It is a dream start for a concept that is developed an build over winter by Chassis Factory and Go Racing Developments in the hands of Jamie Perrin. The Yamaha R6 powered frame-kit finished straight on the podium in his first race.
Chassis Factory “Chrome Light” frame-kit
The “Chrome Light” kit is a development of the 2018 frame kit “Chrome”. A total package consisting of a lightweight aluminum tubular frame and various high-quality aluminum cnc milled parts, special adjustable triple clamps, a special Chassis Factory link system and lightweight swing arm, a handmade aluminum fuel tank, K-Tech front and rear suspension, Brembo brakes , Oz wheels and Toby steering damper.
The main challenge in the development of the new “Chrome Light” kit was weight reduction compared to the standard stock frame. The weight of the frame is reduced by as much as 40% and with the swing arm, developed by Chassis Factory, even a 50% weight advantage is achievable compared to the stock product. This brings the frame-kit on a equal level playing field as a Grand Prix bike.
With a proven performance after multiple podium finishes with the prototype
of the concept we would like to say this kit is ready to compete! With this frame kit we offer an
affordable, reliable, available and proven Gp2 concept, reachable for all teams that want to step up to
this level.
The linear link system offers a wide range of setup possibilities in combination with the adjustable
pivot of the swingarm in the frame. The weight reduction also increases handling of the motorcycle
compared to the stock one. Due to the handmade aluminium Chassis Factory fuel tank, the center of
gravity is lower and we can influence the weight distribution. In addition, the tank is also narrower
for less air resistance. The adjustable yoke set and headstock offers an agile setup for the shorter
circuits and a stable base for the faster ones.
“Chrome Light” for all Supersport types
Just like the 2018 “Chrome” kit, the “Chrome Light” kit still makes it possible to fit all types of Supersport or Superstock engines.
