Hi everyone!
The last release of the Center Hub Steering MOTO2 3D (iges) is online!
To get it you must register in www.lamoto2.es, download filezilla or other FTP client.

Be carefull if Filezilla tries to set a port number. The port box must be clear.
Go to archivos3D/moto24_09_11.zip
And you got it!
Please keep sharing your designs and ideas!
Hi everyone!
As you probably know our Center Hub Steering Moto2 project continues. We’re closing the mechanical design and so we have to started with the bodywork design.
I’ve made the first 3D proposal but as it is an open design project everybody can send designs and people will choice. It’s just I quick draft that I’ll improve if there are no more ideas coming. Do you like it? Too heavy looking? Too complex?
At the moment there is only another design. What do you think about it?
If you’re interested in designing the bodywork for our race bike you can send me your ideas to info@beltrance.com and I’ll publish them in www.lamoto2.es
I think that is a great opportunity to design something that is going to be built and that is going to have a lot of repercussion. Or simply because it’s a great pleasure to see your design running really fast! Please don’t worry if you don’t draw well or don’t know about 3D, we will help you with your design as much as we can.
And remember that you can also help with the mechanical design and the calculus.
Here there is a pic to use as underlay.
And now let’s have a strong coffee and let’s work!
The new Vyrus MOTO2 with Centre Hub Steering it’s on the racetrack and it seems that couls be the surprise for the next year.
Do you think it will race the next year Moto2 worl championship? Do you think it can win races? Watch this videos and please send your opinions, as you can imagine they are very important for us in this case.
The only thing I can say in this moment it’s that looks as a master piece of engineering.

As you probably had noticed, if you used to come to this café, it has been closed for a while. We’ve been really busy with the LAMOTO2 project and with other projects that unfortunately are paused (hope that not stopped)
Here in Spain you can read monthly about our progress but not abroad. So I wanted to show at least a part of what we’re doing.
First of all this little video.
Take a seat and enjoy our delicious coffee!
I have prepared a mini video to show the idea of the system that carries our moto2. In yellow you can see the vertical arm. The thick lines is the part and then up thinner line the real steering axis. The pink line is the top of the steering column of the system, which looks like a fork. When the system compresses the top is “folded”. Therefore there is a ball joint in the joint, to absorb this inclination. Initially the diference is 2 degrees, not zero on purpose. To ensure that the “fold ” goes forward and not backward. At the end it arrives to 7 degrees of tilt for a compression of 120mm. These 7 degrees is absorbed by the green piece that goes in the front of the bike (this is why is a plate) plate that flexes the 7 degrees but kept intact the steer stiffness, work in shear effort. Another thing you see is that the center of the wheel follows almost the same path as a 12 degrees fork. Thus the pilot feel much like a conventional bike and trust the bike from the start.
With this trick, the mechanism, that is an evolution from the patent of the D1200R Demonstener solve the problem of getting a direct steering to the Hub Center Steering System. In this case applied to a system derived from the Difazio. This was one of the desired conditions in the project (no Bump-Steering). If you look you will see that history is an evolution of our prehistoric V2R StreetDumper
Hi everybody!
This is a present for all the builders and designers that want to build an Honda based motorcycle, and specially for those who want to build a MOTO2.
Probably you know that we’re building an alternative suspension MOTO2 for the CEV.
We have scanned and rebuilt the complete CBR 600RR engine from a digitalized. I hope you’ll like it. The critical points are perfect but obviously the rest it’s closer and in the worst places can be over +-5mm.
If you were a reader of this blog you’ve probably seen I’ve got less time to write. But please send all your comments o doubts and I’ll try to answer you ASAP :-)
See you here at the NewConceptsCafé!
