Hayabusa Race Frame

Besides being lightweight and balanced the Hayabusa design focused on 4 main drivers.

Configurability – Can support different racer preferences as well the latest trend in components.

Maintainability – Not just at home, but also at the race pits and fields, the frame should be easy to swap out parts or work on.

Durability – Race frames needs to be light, but they shouldn’t sacrifice durability for it. The Hayabusa needs to withstand punishing practices and provide confidence during races.

Longevity – Keep a longer product cycle with periodic design refreshes. Holes and mount patterns will remain constant so all parts will be backward compatible.


The end result is a podium getter that can hold up to hard lap after lap, race after race, season after season…
