Prototype Machine for The Dakar Rally "CRF450 Rally"

Contribution to Reduction in Prices by Realization of The Integration of Parts and Most Lightweight, and Establishment of The Production Technology for Autoclave

The Paris-Dakar race vehicle CRF450 RALLY was developed as a prototype machine for rally based on a commercial enduro machine. Our company was involved from the prototyping stage of development and made important parts for the rear frame, tower bracket, and skid plate out of CFRP. By combining the manufacturing methods used for racing parts with Honda's technology, our company contributed to the integration of parts for the most lightweight vehicle. In addition, we established the production technology for the autoclave to contribute to the reduction in prices and conducted production with the use of our own materials and equipment to contribute to quality assurance.
