SAMBADH Vanes DXT 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

From the series: impossible matches! Anachronistics? Unlikely? Maybe it's the fact that this extraordinary and highly original motorbike was "killed" by a wrong(?) strategy (making it a racing motorbike tout court), it's certainly my atavistic and initiatory bond with APRILIA (Tuareg Rally 125), perhaps it's that MXV chassis in my garage who always tells me "Assemble me! Complete me! Take me around to drown myself in dust, not to take dust here!"... It may be all this and more, but I really want to put these two creatures side by side! Sooner or later...

Stay tuned! 😎

SAMBADH Vanes DXT 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #001

SAMBADH is me. Not just a nickname or simply the initials of the name, surname and a suffix indicating an incurable pathology. Down Hill. Gravity.

SAMBADH is also a place, a personal, creative time to express how I see cycling things. With the tare(?) of a very long motorcycling background.

SAMBADH is a vision of the bike, definitely centered around a few key products: MGU and Gbox integrated drivetrain with frameset platforms (kinematic deep integration).

SAMBADH is also a mission: bring the PHASER family into production.

Feel free to give a feedback.

Stay tuned. 😎

DUCATI-NOSMOKE Vanes DXT 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

 

The OFF-ROAD Pack! Training tools for Lupino and TC222.

Obviously it is a provocation but I think that a manufacturer like DUCATI can (and must) have a precise and original technical identity as well as proprietary.

So something more than being simple assemblers or carrying out rebranding operations with a profusion of premium components to justify the exclusivity of something. Something that doesn't have exclusivity in its DNA from the start.

You certainly need to invest, incubate some original ideas, build our own know-how. Either you do this and create your own Blue Ocean or you inevitably immerse yourself in a blood-red ocean where there are shark-players who, despite your name, have much more experience, reputation and specific weight.

You have just to decide how to position yourself.

Stay tuned! 😎

DUCATI-NOSMOKE Vanes DXT 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #001

Actually… the AUDI Dakar Rally RS Q E-Tron E2 off-road race car was supposed to take us to Borgo Panigale. Bumpy route, of course! A good road book and excellent navigation would be necessary. Then guess the way points to reach the coveted Beach.

Everything is Dakar!

Last but not least, the Vanes DXT bears the name of one of the most significant, iconic and enthralling technicians and enthusiasts rider in the Bologna area!

Stay tuned! 😎

NOSMOKE Dexert 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #004

 

Here is the Dexert in dark gray version! Ready to jump on the bike rack attached to what other stunning vehicle? And for who knows what other adventures?

Stay tuned. 😎

NOSMOKE Dexert 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #003

 

Mr. Sambadh - Hey Dudes! Where do you two want to go? Get off that AUDI prototype now! What do you think you're doing?

Dexert #1 - Let us go! We want adventure! Dexert #2 - Yes, let us go! The future is an attitude starting from this precise moment! Dexert #1 - Exactly! #2 is right! And we need to express our technical and performance identity!
Stay tuned. 😎

NOSMOKE Dexert 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

 

A genuine NOSMOKE powered by the E-PHASER 12s must be properly powered with an easily removable 21700 cell super battery.
Stay tuned. 🖖

AUDI Dakar Rally RS Q e-tron E2 off-road race car

Next task will be on it! It will have to take his two-wheeled little sisters on exciting new adventures!The unifying factor of the projects are electric propulsion and proprietary mechanical/drivetrain platforms with proprietary technologies and systems.

NOSMOKE Dexert 1.0 powered by E-PHASER 12s #001

 

Finally a real NOSMOKE! Everything (or almost 😋) Made in Italy! The heart is always the E-PHASER 12s. The frameset is big stuff, particular kinematics and really clever packaging!

Stay tuned.

CAKE Phoenix Y-ReBorn powered by E-PHASER 12s #004

CAKE & CAKE! The great Kalk and its sis Phoenix. A nice pair to show in the dealer's lounge then in your Men's Cave!
Stay tuned. 🖖

CAKE Phoenix Y-ReBorn powered by E-PHASER 12s #003

The Phoenix frameset is modular and can be assembled in different sizes just modifying the two main structural elements: the connection parts with the suspension elements remain unchanged. 
Easier than IKEA!

Stay tuned. 🖖

CAKE Phoenix Y-ReBorn powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

 

A CAKE wants its unmistakable mudguards!
Stay tuned. 🖖

CAKE Phoenix Y-ReBorn powered by E-PHASER 12s #001

A name that would like to be a sincere hope for rebirth from the "ashes" of bankruptcy.
A hope of technical, commercial and entrepreneurial rebirth that perhaps also takes into consideration products that are not exactly CAKE. But always with the unmistakable stylistic and constructive interpretation that makes it so family-like!
The Phoenix claims its originality and an E-PHASER MDU wants it!
Stay tuned. 🖖

KNOLLY Chilcotin 151 29er powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

Slooping is cool! And the stand over decreases.
These KNOLLYs are truly the triumph of Aluminum Alloy.
Stay tuned. 🖖

KNOLLY Chilcotin 151 29er powered by E-PHASER 12s #001

Easy: the KNOLLY that isn't there yet but will surely come! Judging by the Technical Partners it will most likely be equipped with the full SRAM Eagle Powertrain. However,

E-PHASER does not give up and wants to carve out its niche! So here is the E-Chilcotin 151 29er powered by our MGU. Easy transplant on this beautiful frameset proudly made of Aluminum Alloys!

Stay tuned. 🖖

GHOST E-Riot AL Trail Advanced powered by E-PHASER 12s #003

We also dynamize the generous down tube that houses the battery. Small optimizations, you can't do much more. For a decisive change it would be necessary to orient E-PHASER, rotating it backwards, dismantling the kinematics of the rear suspension. Let's be satisfied. Will be for next time.
Stay tuned. 🖖

GHOST E-Riot AL Trail Advanced powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

Slightly more dynamic line for the top tube. 
Stay tuned. 🖖

GHOST E-Riot AL Trail Advanced powered by E-PHASER 12s #001

Easy transplant: lots of space at the bottom and convenient battery extraction. I just had to reposition the shock absorber attachment point to the frame and re-proportion the rocker arm for the new working angles. Interesting and widely "developable" frame, perhaps with slightly more dynamic lines.

Stay tuned. 🖖

CANYON Spectral:ON CFR powered by E-PHASER 12s #003

In the previous episode I was looking for volume, space - the final frontier! These are a designer's journeys to package everything right - for the battery pack. Volume subtracted from E-PHASER and which required increasing the down tube (rethinking its construction... as we will see, perhaps) and rethinking the battery fixing and extraction system. This is the result.

Stay tuned. 🖖

CANYON Spectral:ON CFR powered by E-PHASER 12s #002

I was saying, last time... to recover useful volume for the battery that E-PHASER has "eaten", it would be possible to increase the section of the down tube and change the battery housing/extraction system.

We'll talk about it again in the next episode. 😎

Stay tuned. 🖖
