Losi RTR 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Bike [VIDEO]

From Losi:
Powering off the road, rushing down straights, and leaning by curves and turns, a singular concord develops between a motorcycle and its rider. The 2 intuitively turn into one. Regardless of its energy, the two-wheeler feels mild and nimble because it reacts immediately to your cues — as if it’s merely an extension of you.

That’s additionally the way it feels to drive Losi Promoto RC bikes.

The Losi Promoto-MX was the primary RC grime bike to precisely reproduce the total expertise and pure enjoyable of driving an actual motorbike. Now, for on-road RC and motorbike followers, Losi presents the Promoto-SM — probably the most genuine supermoto expertise ever supplied in a radio-control bike.

The Promoto-SM is especially well-suited for concrete, asphalt, blacktop, and different laborious surfaces discovered at neighborhood streets, native parks, and parking tons. Key variations from the Promoto-MX embrace new Professional-Line Racing OE (Authentic Gear) SM road tires on smaller wheels, a extra highly effective entrance brake caliper, and revised lean bar wheels. The Promoto-SM can lean farther than its grime bike counterpart, and the lean bar tires lower noise and supply higher traction on laborious surfaces.

The Losi Promoto-SM additionally seems to be like a real supermoto bike. Its distinctive visible particulars embrace hand guards, shortened entrance fender, and formally licensed FXR graphics and rider gear.

What the Promoto-SM shares with the breakthrough Promoto-MX is an revolutionary mix of mechanical and digital expertise that work collectively to supply a practical expertise that no different RC bike can contact. The electronics embrace a 2700Kv motor and metal flywheel which can be each mounted within the heart of the body. The motor spins the flywheel at over 22,000 rpm to create a gyroscopic pressure for unparalleled stability. Patent-pending Spektrum MS6X expertise takes your enter from the Spektrum DX3PM transmitter and instructions the Promoto-SM to lean, flip, and wheelie with unprecedented steadiness and finesse.

The mechanical expertise is equally spectacular. Losi’s product improvement group studied full-size motorbike suspension geometry to offer Promoto RC bikes the identical terrain dealing with traits. A rising charge rear suspension offers superior grip and prevents bottoming out in landings. Their fully new entrance fork design, with an inner spring and dampener, may be tuned by altering the silicone dampening fluid and likewise permits experience peak changes. An revolutionary entrance and rear wheel braking system provides spectacular stopping energy, chopping the stopping distance in half in comparison with rear brake solely.

Each applied sciences, digital and mechanical, are why the Promoto platform performs higher at excessive and low speeds than any earlier RC motorbike. Now, with the Losi Promoto-SM, there’s an RC bike that basically works — with tarmac-ready efficiency and elegance!

UPDATED LEAN BARS

(You’ll be able to obtain further telemetry info in real-time, akin to pace, RPM, amp draw, ESC temperature, and extra, by upgrading to the Spektrum DX5C or DX5 Professional transmitter.)

UPDATED BRAKE CALIPERS & PISTON

Though the unique Promoto-MX entrance brake system labored effectively, the design group thought that enhancements may very well be made. An all-new caliper and floating piston have been designed to use a bigger strain space to the brake pad. Additionally, a brand new Metallic Injection Molded (MIM) piston shaft is put in on the bearings for smoother operation and a greater seal once more mud and particles. All of this provides as much as a shorter stopping distance and extra constant braking operation.

FLYWHEEL UNIT

The gyroscopic stabilization pressure created by its heavy metal flywheel — spinning at over 22,000 rpm with the 2700Kv motor — does wonders for the motorbike’s stability. Mounted as low and as far ahead as attainable within the body, the flywheel unit permits the Promoto-SM to pivot round its heart level to enhance leaping, modifications of course, and the accuracy of the bike’s efficiency.

HEAD DAMPING

With eight kilos quickly powering down the observe, it takes fairly a stiff servo saver spring setup to correctly information the Promoto-SM into the following flip. Like something closely sprung, one of the best ways to regulate the sturdy springs is to dampen the motion. A key improvement for the Promoto platform is a fluid-filled friction chamber between the higher and decrease head tube bearings. The chamber is stuffed with heavy 500,000cSt which dampens the servo saver effectively and helps to regulate any attainable “head shake.”

SERVO SAVER

The servo saver’s stiff round springs, captured by bearing-mounted composite plates, present consistency in steering with sufficient give to guard the servo. However that’s not all. It additionally drastically improves the bike’s efficiency when setting down from wheelies, touchdown from jumps, energy sliding by a flip, and pushing the entrance tire over a curb. It offers so the bike stays up.

NARROW CHASSIS
To seize the correct scale seems to be, the bike’s electronics and battery all needed to match inside a compact, slender chassis. Requiring a particular “shorty” battery would have made the design activity easy, however the Promoto-SM product improvement group wished to make use of a extra handy, customary dimension battery. Mission achieved! A full-size 2S hardcase LiPo suits inside the rider’s seat, straightforward to entry for fast battery modifications. Pop in a charged pack and also you’re again in seconds to main your competitors.

REALISTIC RIDER FIGURE

The rider figures of different RC bikes are made solely of froth, which shortly fails. Promoto riders have a rubberized plastic exterior that may give and flex beneath impacts and flips. To maintain the rider from bobbling round on the bike, the torso has a foam insert. It retains the physique agency throughout regular operation however nonetheless capable of give beneath influence. With its up to date gear, the Promoto-SM rider seems to be prepared for aggressive on-road racing motion!

PRO-LINE RACING OE (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT) SUPERMOTO STREET TIRES

The Promoto-SM is outfitted with new Professional-Line Racing OE (Authentic Gear) Supermoto road tires. Along with complementing the bike’s scale seems to be, the Supermoto tires are designed particularly for the distinctive put on and traction necessities of supermoto-style street racing.

DISPLAY/MAINTENANCE & STARTING STANDS

Engaged on an actual bike is simpler with a correct bike stand. So the Promoto-SM needed to have one, too! The included stand for upkeep and show is modeled after an actual bike stand, full with graphics. To maintain the bike balanced on the stand, the Promoto-SM keys into the bike stand. However taking it a step additional, a hands-free beginning stand can also be included. This beginning stand cradles the rear tire and holds the bike upright and prepared for a gate-style begin.

TRUE-SPOKE WHEELS

Earlier than Losi launched the Promoto platform, no different producers had been capable of create proper-looking spoked wheels with the sturdiness wanted for an RC bike. It took the dedication and experience of the Losi product improvement group to make it occur. For the Promoto-SM, the sensible, true-spoke wheels are smaller, in step with the design of actual on-road bikes.

PLASTICS WITH GRAPHICS

Massive or small, no road bike would look proper with out a correct physique panel package wrapped in vinyl graphics. The Promoto-SM has all the products — fenders, quantity plate, fork guards, entrance and rear aspect panels — all wanting recent wrapped in up to date, extremely sturdy vinyl graphics.

REALISTIC DETAILS

Even tiny touches matter, and Losi hasn’t neglected a factor — exhaust, brake line, foot pegs, brake rotors, you title it. The Promoto-SM additionally contains hand guards, recreating these used on full-size supermoto bikes to guard the brake and clutch levers throughout a fall.

REAR FENDER

Wheelies occur. A standard, rigid-mounted rear fender would actually take a beating. However the Promoto-SM has the answer — a hinged elastomer sprung rear fender that may deflect out of the way in which throughout wheelies to show a sturdy nylon rear bumper. It considerably will increase the sturdiness of the rear fender.

FRONT CRASH STRUCTURE

The entrance crash construction of the Promoto-SM is inflexible throughout regular operating, however compresses till the entrance tire bottoms into the chassis body to soak up entrance impacts. That protects the entrance fork tubes from bending, conserving them secure and true.

SKID PLATES & AIR VENTS

Molded composite skid plates line the entrance and backside of the Promoto-SM chassis. They provide safety throughout crashes and maintain particles out of the chassis, serving to to guard the electronics mounted inside. The air vents on both sides of the bike come closed within the field, however may be opened to supply cooling airflow when ambient temperatures are excessive.

TWIN ALUMINUM PLATE CHASSIS

Twin aluminum chassis plates home and defend the entire bike’s electronics and assist to offer the Promoto-SM its realistically slender look. In addition they give the body the rigidity and sturdiness required for harsh impacts.

FRONT FORK

The entrance fork of the Promoto-SM is one other Losi innovation with an inner spring and dampener. Designed to work much like regular RC shocks, the entrance fork tubes may be rebuilt and tuned by altering the silicone dampening fluid. Utilizing counter-wound higher and decrease springs, spacers can be utilized to regulate the experience peak of the Promoto-SM as effectively. And perhaps most significantly, they give the impression of being superior — similar to the true deal.

RISING RATE REAR SUSPENSION

Identical to an actual bike, the Promoto-SM has a rising charge rear suspension. The suspension begins delicate round experience peak, for easy dealing with and a superior grip. It turns into firmer because it will get deeper into up journey, to supply correct preload on jumps and stop bottoming out in landings. Dialed in with a full oil-filled coil-over shock, the Promoto-SM is able to rip over any on-road floor.

BRUSHLESS POWER SYSTEM

The Promoto-SM comes out of the gates HOT with a robust Spektrum Good brushless energy system. Its 4-pole 3652 3800Kv motor places down the facility whereas the 85A brushless ESC provides all of the management you want. With huge 40+ mph high speeds on a 2S LiPo battery, the Promoto-SM energy system rips!

HEAD ANGLE

After months of testing totally different path settings, head angle, and steering ratios, the Promoto-SM product improvement group discovered the candy spot. A head tube angle of 62.4 levels offers it the perfect steadiness of bump dealing with, touchdown jumps, steering enter, and “head shake” management on all surfaces.

RACE-INSPIRED SLIPPER CLUTCH

As its 3800Kv Spektrum Firma Brushless motor places out ample energy, the Promoto-SM’s race impressed twin disc slipper clutch helps the rear tire preserve traction on quite a lot of surfaces. The twin pad, spring pressurized slipper clutch takes inspiration from those who the TLR group makes use of to win races throughout the globe. It will increase traction and protects the drivetrain with out sacrificing explosive drive.

FRONT CABLE-DRIVEN DISC BRAKE

Hauling in your bike is much more enjoyable once you’ve acquired good brakes. The motor can deal with rear braking by the drivetrain, however like 1:1 bikes, a lot of the braking occurs with the entrance tire. To sluggish the Promoto-SM down from the entrance, the entrance brake makes use of a metal rotor, caliper-actuated brake pads, and servo-driven cable. It cuts your stopping distance in half.

REALISTIC CHAIN DRIVE

We couldn’t name the Promoto-SM a real road racing bike if wasn’t chain pushed. Metal hyperlinks and 70 curler pins wrap round a 10-tooth metal drive sprocket and a 36-tooth aluminum hub sprocket. No matter situations, the chain drive will drive the rear tire effectively and reliably.
