As part of the show EICMA 2021 there are not only classic two wheels, because mobility in general has taken on the leading role. We have seen and will therefore see bikes, scooters and city cars, especially electric ones. And also in the case of Valentino Rossi and VR | 46 is about non-motorcycle products. The merchandising company closely linked to the companies of the Tavullia sample presented an e-mtb called Terra VR | 46.
This is the first e-mtb conceived between Tavullia and Bologna, that is between VR | 46 and MT Distribution: let’s talk about one bi-cushioned enduro which can boast of very brilliant partners in terms of bike and electric components such as Bosch, Pirelli, Sram / Rock Shox, Fulcrum, Ohlins, Crankbrothers, Technomousse and Ochain. The heart of the project is the 6061 – T6 hydroformed aluminum frame, entirely studied and designed in Italy; particular attention was given to the geometry, and in particular to the saddle, designed in an advanced position to ensure a good riding position even with difficult slopes. Some elements of the frame, such as the boxed engine mounting plate, have been designed using solutions typical of the world of motorcycles. Bearings are oversized, along with oversized thru-axles, to improve torsional stiffness.
The flipchip system is also present on the e-mtb, positioned on the lower fulcrum of the shock absorber: with this it is possible to transform the geometry of the bike, passing from an All-Mountain to an E-Enduro. The steering angle can be varied from 65.5 ° to 64.5 °, as well as lowering the bottom bracket by 12 mm, to the benefit of downhill performance. The cable routing is fully integrated to ensure protection from possible bumps and not affect the design of the bike. Speaking of design, a glossy black was chosen.
In 2022 Terra VR | 46 will be launched on the market in two versions: Limited Edition, production in 46 numbered pieces and supplied with an exclusive certificate signed by Valentino Rossi, assembled with wireless and carbon components; Pro, assembled with high-end components. In both, the Bosch Performance Line CX electric motor develops a maximum torque of 85 Nm with a weight of only 2.9 kilograms. The PowerTube battery is 750 Wh. Also Bosch also the Kiox 300 Display.
