Advanced Materials
● The frame is constructed using Toray M46X carbon fibre, one of the highest-grade fibres available.
● M46X offers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and tensile strength, ensuring explosive power transfer and stability under extreme racing conditions.
Structural Innovation
A lug-style carbon joint system was applied at the seat stay–seat tube junction.
Extensive structural experiments and simulations identified the most reliable bonding method, providing:
● Improved vibration absorption
● Reduced failure risk at stress points
● Enhanced joint stiffness
● The result is a safer and stiffer track frame optimised for high-performance racing.
Aerodynamic Optimisation
● CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations replicated real track conditions, minimising aerodynamic drag.
● Wide fork design aligned with the rider’s legs and wheel profile reduces frontal turbulence.
● Wide seat stays effectively manage airflow around the rear wheel, thereby lowering drag and enhancing overall stability.
● CAD-driven structural optimisation removed unnecessary material while maintaining stiffness, contributing to weight reduction and performance efficiency.
Testing & Validation
● Initial development and optimisation were completed through CFD testing in Korea.
● The current version is prepared for wind tunnel validation in the UK,
● while the next iteration is scheduled for wind tunnel testing to integrate refined
aerodynamic data.
● FEA (Finite Element Analysis) has been conducted to validate durability and strength
under racing conditions.
