CR&S DUU “REDSHIFT”
In the aim of research!
The GIVEN REDSHIFT is the natural evolution of the note CR&S DUU, motorcycle exclusively produced in small circulation by the motorcycle manufacturer meneghina with artisan mold.
When in 2013 duu the project was interrupted by ill-feeling interior to CR&S, its Lead designer Donato Cannatello, After a brief stint in Matchless, He decided to open his own design center, and to carry forward the project duu, now orphaned of its creators, however, using the cooperation and approval of the original founders of the exclusive motorcycle, as well as of the operational manpower, thanks to the unchanged esteem and friendship.
The original bike has been developed according to those who were certain stylistic standards identified at the time as a natural evolution of the model "Biotta" ("Naked" ed) on occasion presented by the company.
The redesign has obviously focused on new rock steady front end, replacing the original inverted fork with an innovative system to the central cushion and lateral sliding sheaths. Laprogettazione the new front end is born to the computer, creating all the components by means of three-dimensional modeling and analysis FEM , which it has also allowed us to analyze every single part through the control of the forces to which it is subjected.
The components have been realized by means of CNC removal technology (Numerical Control
computerized) with billet milling.
The design (or rather the realization) of different copper components is the quid which gave the chromatic and handicraft character to the motorcycle.
Starting from the original forms of car body parts, through traditional typing technology based on pitch, They have taken shape some elements that bring with themselves the manual work of skilled craftsmen certosini of the noble metal.
The REDSHIFT is still a motorcycle every day, not only by performance.
One of the main components that meet this idea is the new passenger seat / tail that has a double meaning, on one side, "Cover car" with a base made of aluminum billet which creates a visual continuity with the geometry of the tail / tank, while simply turning it turns out the padded saddle to accommodate the passenger if necessary.
The project name "Redshift", the phenomenon by which the light emitted by an astral object has a wavelength greater size than the one he had in emission, shiftando its color to red, It symbolizes the evolution of duu, from small motorbikes to only bike series evolved.
REDSHIFT IL:
- The red shift is the phenomenon by which light emitted from an object has a longer wavelength than that which had in emission.
This means that the color turns to red. - The most important is the REDSHIFT in cosmology, due to the expansion of the universe. The stars in particular show a redshift corresponding to the speed with which increases their distance from the earth.
- Copper is used on our duu its displacement from the original duu, aging will change its color, assuming the chromatic variations that the material will take.
ITALIAN MOTORCYCLE CONTEST
"BEST OF SHOW 2018"
Our CARRIES "Redshift" He won the award "BEST OF SHOW" the national contest IMC , clashing with other bikes beautiful and of the highest level.
This obviously fills us with pride and motivates us to do even better.
Harley Davidson V-ROD “VRASCAW”
A much discussed motorcycle Harley Davidson V-Rod, in all its many variations. Even many do not consider it a real Harley Davidson because of its technological water-cooled engine, contrary to the principles of simplicity of motion of Milwaukee.
Yet we like very, We like it for its low line and muscular, for its style "uselessly " performing.
Maybe we could even say that better than all other Harley Davidson V-Rod is the American philosophy of going on the road, big engine, big performance, from gate cycling and busted trim. Exclusively from burn-out or highway shooting (or better "Highway"!)
Our work on the bike focused, as is normal with regard to customization that we take into account, primarily on the overall volumes, in the second instance we have reconsidered the driveability and in general the measures is that anthropomorphic geometric means of motion, Finally, we focused on the details.
The issue volume was resolved trying to give the bike an overall look stockier and less stretched the original version of the Harley Davidson V-Rod, we then spoke on the positioning and the shape of the bodywork components as a reservoir, faro, instrumentation and tail.
As regards the structure and geometry we raised the rear in order to shorten the wheelbase, raise the center of gravity and the axis angle of steering verticalize, This has led to a better handling and drivability, more suitable for use of the motorcycle newspaper.
Finally we developed all the details, mechanical and aesthetic, drawing the parts to be realized in 3D, giving a first 3D print version, and once confirmed the goodness, we switched to the realization of aluminum components, ABS plastic and PMMA plastic transparent via CNC.
Ultimately our Harley Davidson V-Rod is perfectly our style of motorcycle customization tailor-made, tailor-made in every sense for the customer, so that it can quietly circled, with the rules and with attention to style but also usability.
Triumph Speed Triple 1050 “PIER”
Pier is an avid serious ones.
La sua Speed Triple 1050 spends more time under the knife or on the road. Yet Pier makes of kilometers in motion… Turns solo on the steps and torque weekend (obviously with a two-seater motorcycle)….
On his Speed Pier achieved alone or with our help all the parts needed to transform its “civil” Speed Triple in the beast of customization and fun that you can see on this page.
Everything was taken care to detail, screw to screw, pomellino for pomellino, until you get to the rear frame, pigtail, and wheels made according to his purpose.
In the specific case, for the tail, we started from a model made of extruded polyurethane low density “graven” by hand by the same Pier, we engineered by 3D scanning and reverse engineering, with a resolution of geometrical problems, undercuts, Draft and mirroring. From this we obtained a first ABS model milled from solid to use as “Master” mold for the fiber Carbon.
Finally we rolled the fiber until you have fully replicated the early stages with a final product super strong and only a few pounds heavier.
The wheels also have been specifically created on demand and Pier design, wheels not too thick beams, functional and read, tubless, monoarm and varnishing bicolor.
It was not easy to bring together all the requests, but with the help of our Jonich It was almost a walk.
Find the wheels also available in our shop-on line.
CR&S DUU “Nd01”
The CR&S DUU It is a bike that we know very well, we have collaborated in the development directly in CR&S following the style and engineering from the beginning up to direct customizations for the most demanding customers.
Now we have created a version, showcase of our design capabilities, where we could fully express our ideas about motorcycle-style and where to apply the most of the criteria that have always accompanied us: functionality, aesthetics, attention to detail and aversion to the paint and covers all futile.
Our CR&S duu has obviously been the subject of a deep customization mainly due to the fact that the model from which it derives, the CR&S DUU "Biotta", born as version "naked" CR&S DUU original. Due to incomplete development of the initial project in CR&S, however, the bike has been "denúdala" (Biotta n.d.r.) only the front, leaving a strange mix of naked front (even too much) and the rear that instead still had parts in traditional plastic bodywork ... Too rough for a bike of this caliber!
We then tried to rebalance the style between the front and rear, slightly overlapping onto the first and the second stripping.
In Given we then shaped duu in CAD first and then in aluminum, almost everything Aluminum, almost everything to CAD.
Some parts have preferred her hand on the spur of the moment (it is always fair to leave a part of the work to the heart), but mostly the bike has been entirely designed, displayed and then made, all with a work-flow that now characterizes us and sees us among the the technical pioneers.
The bike has been the result of a lot of work, in general our approach to projects always involves a preliminary phase of 2D concept which we submit to the client (be it business or private), where we try to make clear all the points that will be subjected to interventions and mainly try to identify immediately the two most important parameters: Volumes and style.
Once this is done we proceed with the project definition, developing it with the use of computers, but also the pencil or directly mechanical workshop.
All pieces designed by CAD systems have been realized in CNC machined from aluminum parts or plexiglass or ABS and other materials. With our expertise in project area we designed from scratch the rear light assembly is a self-illuminating frieze that recalls our logo without being too obvious.
NAC
NAC is a concept motorcycle designed for an Asian manufacturer who has commissioned a study of style of their pre-existing mechanical base.
The base is a twin cylinder 650cc of frontemarcia, a light yet powerful motorcycle, inspiration Kawaski ER6.
Of this resumes the swingarm with shock absorber offset in a lateral position, the motor geometry and cycling and ergonomic dimensions.
The request was to develop a concept characterized by strong appeal racy but modern at the same time, featuring everything with the particular optical and in general a lot of attention to lighting systems, giving preference where possible LED technology.
We made a slight road beautiful, equipped with fairing with good coverage of the pilot, but giving emphasis on driving pleasure in every day thanks to a naked handlebar that allows a more comfortable driving position, relaxed and ready.
The discharge under the saddle, the singular saddle very slender lines complete a picture of a motorcycle by the strong evocative flavor but by the easy usability and accessibility.
Paton PG 500 RR
“Alone against all, in spite of who, with the excuse of passion for motorcycles benefits his bank account. The tenacity and skill of those who, in spite of everything, He can still put on track a 500 crafts.”
Vanni Spinoni
ThePaton and this, passion and tenacity; the challenge of creating something extremely competitive giving vent to all its resources, both mechanical and of men and means, and extreme attention to detail and the watchful eye of those who make things done quietly and with dedication.
The Paton now wants to return to the scene of the slopes PG500RR, but not in the scenario of the competitions, but within that of enthusiasts who want a truly extreme means to have fun on track. A 500 four-cylinder two times with more than 170 horses and a rabid temperament is something very far from the imagination of today, something far behind and too far, something that does not even exist in dreams, even in those more than 70 thousand euro…
Therefore the appearance of a similar item is something extremely delicate, from all points of view.
Currently (the bike is still in the early stage of development) there is a trend towards a very traditional solution, that preserves the most of the original forms, but denoting definitely an attention to detail worthy of a similar item. Here's the “details” take on a different quality compared to the one usually used in the field of motorcycle design. The details in this case is something that does not detract in the field of performance and historical memory, ma “solo” add in the context of the Exaltation “graphics” content.
Here the Paton PG500RR as a hull shapes typical of the period beginning 2000, but with graphics that evoke the classic historical tradition Paton, the dreaded two-cylinder four-stroke of the late sixties.
Aprilia Ramsex
Open it RÂMSEX is an advanced concept developed by order of the Aprilia, the basic mechanics is that of the Aprilia Dorsoduro, then V-twin engine of 90 degrees and mixed frame tubular structure / aluminum plates in pressofusione.Aprilia RÂMSEX 750.
Our proposal sees superstructure more’ spindly, front wheel 19″ , low discharges and tank under the saddle, all this for a product more’ road, more’ minimum, oriented more’ towards a supermotard cubing that a large endurona trend.
