Reduction in Prices with Establishment of Mass Production Technology for Autoclave Molding, and Contribution to Quality Assurance by Production with Use of Our Own Materials and Equipment.
The MotoGP replica model RC213V-S was developed not to reproduce the power performance but to reproduce as closely as possible the packaging and riding feel of the completed vehicle. Our company was involved from the prototype production stage of development and completed each CFRP part by combining Honda's technology with the manufacturing methods used for racing parts. We established the mass production technology for autoclave molding, which contributed to reduction in prices. In addition, we also contributed to quality assurance by producing with use of our own materials and equipment.
