When designing the BOTT M210, we have tried to use solutions that facilitate the work of the mechanics. The most important aspect of a race bike is beeing fast on the track, but it is also very important that the mechanics can work on the bike quickly and safely. Good race bikes are full of […]
The airbox intake is one of the M210 parts that was not designed yet. In most race bikes this part is made using carbon fiber (CF). By the moment we have designed it to be fabricated using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). Fortunately for this task we have the support of Ineo, a Spanish company specialized

After finishing the clay model of the BOTT M210 fairing, Anima guys gave us two posters with sketches that give a good idea of how the bodywork will look. The posters are very cool! We will hang them in our office. On the other hand, we move forward building the bike. This week we have

Anima boys have now completed the bodywork clay model. I think the final resoult is spectacular. We are really happy.. 😀 These photos show the bike, but without showing it completely, just to keep some mystery.. In live View, the bike certainly has a particular aesthetic, which I think is given by its dimensions (I

Anima designers continue working and here we have the third evolution of the design. We have defined the tail and the nose of the bike. From now on it is necessary to work in 3D. Here you have some proposals for the nose of the bike. And here several proposals for the tail. As always

The bodywork is beeing designed by Anima, a design studio from Barcelona. You can see their first 5 proposals in our Flickr gallery (sketches A, B, C, D, E). Here we have the second evolution of the design, these ones have a more racing feeling. Compared with the previous ones, air exits are smaller and

This is the first prototype of the Moto2 fueltank, made in aluminium. As you can see in the photo, it hasn’t been welded yet, with the intention of checking that it fits properly in the bike, before welding it. I designed it trying to make it very narrow, in that way the rider can close

During the last weeks we had a lot of activity. The chassis welding was programmed for December but several delays in the parts manufacturing has delayed it to January. We start beeing with up to our neck to have the bike ready on time. Next months are going to be really “funny”… As you can

After a lot of working hours, finally I have a more or less defined chassis. It took me quite time to arrive to a design with which I felt satisfied. One of the particularities of this chassis is that he headstock is “stemless” type, this means it doesn’t have a steering axle that crosses it.

Since the last change of the rules saying that all Moto2 bikes will use a Honda engine, I didn’t write about our project. We had some news, the most important is the incorporation of Pablo Gonzalez de Chaves to the Bottpower team. Since August I work in Bottpower full-time and now Pablo is doing the
