I first saw this at The Barry at Eastern Creek a few years back and it's going to be at the above as well.
 
Interesting looking design and it would great if it gets developed into something more mainstream as I personally don’t particularly like telescopic forks.
 
so many links and bearings makes the system complicated and dificult to adjust, I do nor really see how it works 😬
 
I would just like to see it run in Moto2, That's supposed to be a chassis development series with pretty status quo chassis so where are the developments? Just one out there bike showing any potential would open the floodgates hopefully producing an arms race of improvements all the way to Moto Gp.
 
BMW Telelever if it's one of the 2 frontend designs BMW pinched or as we should know it as the Saxtrack Frontend originally designed for Laverda Motods. I don't know as I haven't ridden either. A stopwatch and some crazy brave talents might show some effect for the better. I hope we get to see.

Money and convention rule in Moto2. Way cheaper to buy a known chassis and run that - with backup data from the other teams via the frame builder. It's a costly exercise doing it your way.
I wish them luck.
 
Yes, I get that, all you need to do is watch what happens when Honda goes rogue with a new idea. Sad but true.
 
If it would work best with a different type of tyre construction, it will probably not get there though. We see now in MotoGP that only certain types of chassis work with the tyres that are supplied, and I suspect there is huge pressure from the teams with those chassis to delay the introduction of other carcass constructions.
 
Welll, I was reading on the site it was at last year's Philip Island event and the Moto 2 tyre supplier gave them a bunch of tyres to help with their development. The Dora bunch apparently liked and supported them as well. My bet is money is their biggest issue.
 
MotoGP2 and 3 are switching to Pirellis from Dunlop next season….. Mat Oxley had a great interview with a rider who raced on all three tire brands about how they all require different chassis designs and emphasize different aspects at different parts of the corner.
