In Bottpower we have a recurrent conversation theme, which is to build a high performance street superbike (also for the track, of course), with a modern 1000 cc. engine and high level components. A bike that would allow us to take the maximun profit of the electronics we are developing (which are already competing in 2013 World Supersport championship with Gabor Talmacsi). As you probably know, in Bottpower we alway

Last week we had a 2 days test in Almeria circuit (South-East of Spain), with Prorace Honda Team and Gabor Talmacsi. We continued with the Bottpower CR2 electronics tests. Weather was unpleasant, with strong wind. Anyway Gabor rode a lot of laps and we continued going ahead with the set up work, with good resoults. Here you have a short video, two on board laps in Almería track, with Gabor Talmacsi riding his Honda C

During the 3rd and 4th of January, world SuperSport team Prorace Honda arranged a test in Jerez to test our Bottpower CR-2 electronic module. The CR-2 is a calculus module (it is also a powerful data-logger) 100% developed in Bottpower. It is a hardware and software package designed to develop strategies (for example traction control, drive by wire, engine braking, fuel consumption control, etc). After 2 days of test

In Albacete we had an exciting and funny race weekend. As we mentioned in our previous post, our rider Ricieri Luvizotto arrived to this race without knowing the track and without any experience riding a Moto2 bike. In the CEV (Spanish Championship) the level is very high, so this race was a serious challenge for him. On Friday on the first practice we were lapping in 1:40. On saturday on the first qualify Ricieri la

This weekend we are in Albacete racing the penultimate CEV (Spanish Championship) Moto2 race of current season, with young (19 years) Brazilian rider Ricieri Luvizotto, riding our BOTT M212. This season Ricieri has been racing the CBR 600 F cup in Brazil with a spectacular resoult. He won the championship, winning all the races and taking all the pole positions. Here in Spain the resoults will be quite different for

We had some time without talking about our Moto2 project. The bike didn’t test or race since April. During this time we continued working on it, mainly on the engine and with the mapping. As we already commented, we tested several exhausts on the dyno and finally we are using an Arrow one. We are going to race the 2 last CEV rounds of the season, in Valencia (13th of November) and Jerez (20th of November). For

A brief post just to comment that the project that we arranged to race the CEV with Almassora team and rider Antonio Gallardo has been cancelled, so we won’t keep racing together this season. For this reason we won’t be racing this weekend in the second CEV race in Motorland’s circuit. Bottpower wants to thank Antonio Gallardo and Almassora team for their help during the first race of the season in

Our previous post about the BOTT XR-1 was covered by a lot of webs and blogs, these are some expamples: The kneeslider, Hell For Leather, trendsnow.net, autoblog.com, asphaltandrubber.com, visordown.com, etc. The XR-1 also appeared in Spanish paper magazines like Motociclismo or Solomoto30. Spanish magazine Formula Moto is also writing a good article about the XR-1, that will appear in their next issue. The project g

Last Tuesday and Wednesday (5th and 6th of April) we were testing in Jerez. It was our first test of the 2011 season, and the first time that Antonio Gallardo (our new rider) tested the BOTT M210. Most of the CEV Moto2 teams were also testing in Jerez, and also some of the fastest Moto2 riders in the World Championship, like Marc Marquez or Andrea Ianone. It’s always good to share the track with those guys. Tue

We are working on some merchandising stuff that we will sell in a short time through our website. The intention is to have high quality articles, with high attention to design, details, etc. We want this articles to reflect our philosophy and the way we do our work. First article we are working on is a poster of our Moto2, the BOTT M210, printed in photographic quality paper at A2 size (around 587×413 mm or 23.1
