Although the BOTT XR1 kit is not officially on sale yet, we are building a few “trial production” units which will be sold to customers with high mechanical skills. We want them to assembly their XR1 and give us their feedback to help us to improve our product. The first kit is already built and ready to be shipped to his owner in the United States. In this case the customer wanted the fueltank and the se

Sideburn magazine has published a really cool 7 pages article about the BOTT XR1 in their issue #13. The article photos are from Kristina Fender. We are really happy about how everything came out!!

Last 14th of February we took profit that all the World Championship Moto2 and Moto3 teams were testing in Valencia (they spent 3 days training there) to organize a small test with Anthony West riding the BOTT XR1 in Cheste circuit. We arranged the test at 5 in the afternoon, once the official IRTA tests were finished. We rented the track for half hour, it wasn’t possible to rent it for more time because there

Here you have the video of the XR1 first test we did in Albaida track some weeks ago. We want to thank Alex Martinez, the rider, who rode fast and safe. Also the guys of Agarra aire, for filming and editing the video, and to Edsol Records for providing the music and work with the sound. The video is available in HD both in Youtube and Vimeo.

On the 31 of January we tested the XR1 for the very first time. For this test we chose a karting track in Albaida (a small town in the East of Spain), because unlike most kartings, this one is not very slow and it has some fast sections. Several world championship riders come here to practice supermoto. We were very lucky with the weather, we had a sunny day, without any wind and with a spring-like temperature. Ramón

After several months working hard on this project, finally we can show the first BOTT XR1 pictures! As you already know, this project started when Ramón Bellosta ordered us to build this bike. He had a clear idea of the aesthetics the bike should have. I think that the final bike is quite close to the first renders we made months ago. Here you can compare a render with a real photo of the bike. The main difference is

Some weeks ago we fired up the BOTT XR-1 for the first time. The bike is almost ready, we are waiting for the carbon fiber fueltank and seat/tail pieces, which are having some delay. Once we have these parts we will take some photos of the bike and will show it on our website. We also want to make a test on a track with a good rider, and record it on a video. Meanwhile we show you some more details of the XR-1. The r

We had sometime without talking about the BOTT XR-1. The project is very advanced, the main parts are already fabricated and currently we are assembling the bike and finishing all the details. This is a task that takes time if you want to do a quality job. The next photo shows the XR-1 front, we already placed the oil radiator, the lights and the steering lock, which is located in the same position than in the origin

Little by little we continue going ahead with the BOTT XR-1 project. As we already mentioned, the oil cooler will be located behind the front number plate, beside the headlights. In this way the bike will have a more clean aspect. In order to locate the radiator in such a small place, we had to build a custom one, that we will sell as an option in our XR-1 building kit. We are also building the secondary fueltank, wh

As you can see in the pictures, the BOTT XR-1 project continues going ahead. The base of the bike is already built and currently we are working on the fibers (fueltank, seat and front numberplate). Now we enter a phase of the project in which details are very important. The final version of this BOTT XR-1 first unit will have a lot of special parts: a silencer coming from the race kit (the unit of the photos is the s
