Someones been thinking outside the box!
Reverse cylinders I've seen before but never on a trials bike. I wonder what injection system they are using, could be the orbital system from down under maybe.

That looks pretty sweet!! love the flipped cylinder, i've only seen that used on gopeds and strimmers. USD forks tho not sure about that. Makes the new sherco look over engineered and that greeves thing look like a modern dinosaur. Turn the forks back round an i'm happy.

Looks like they have the fan, fuel tank and air box up front? Can't see how everything is routed, but looks interesting for sure. I hope the FI works well, would love to see direct injection on a trials bike in the near future.

Looks very good, tecnically interesting bits.
I wonder with the barrel on reversed to normal with a trailing exhaust instead of leading, if you whack open the throttle will the front end tend to rise or fall? Just a thought!
We will only find out when someone tries it.
Much better than the Greeves effort earlier this year, this one looks much better put together as far as prototypes are concerned.

That looks like the bike to have to me! fuel injected 2 stroke with the giroscopic forces of the piston directed back towards the centre of the bike, I would imagine its very agile....asuming thay have got it to run well and produce eneough power then i want one!
Any ideas who the uk importer might be?
Any ideas who might end up riding it in the WTC?

Lot of thought gone in to the machine, love the idea of the front down tube being the fuel tank.
If it rides as good as it looks and the price isn't silly it could be very popular.

It is just me or does the exhaust seem to run very close to what looks like a shock reservoir? Might affect damping if it heats up the shock oil.
Otherwise looks amazing - so good to have such a revival in new (re-born!) trials marques.
