SC-Project official technical supplier team JiR - 2011
Moto2 World Championship
After various trials and tests on
tracks and on the testing ground of many exhausts dedicated
to the new Moto2 category, the JiR team, led by Gianluca
Montiron, chose for their 2011 version of the MotoBi Moto2,
the 4-1 full performance titanium exhaust produced by the
Italian SC-Project.The exhaust, made
completely of titanium with a conical manifold of variable
diameter, equips the motorcycle of the talented racer Alex
De Angelis of San Marino. The exhaust, specifically designed
to blend with the characteristics of the Moto2 propulsion
system, is the ultimate expression of
technology applied to the
motorcycling competition field and is the result
of numerous static and dynamic studies of
exhaust gas flow combined with innumerable tests
on the testing ground and on the track. The
objective of the SC-Project factory has been to
better optimise the evacuation of exhaust gases,
ensuring the absolute tops in terms of torque
and maximum power in championships where a few
more hp can make a difference in trials and in
races. Another very important parameter is the
reduction in weight; for this, the use of
materials is restricted exclusively to
high-grade titanium and fibrous carbon which
originated in the aeronautics industry. The
manifolds in full titanium have variable
diameters and conicity and are available in many
types of exhaust systems according to the type
of track where the motorcycle is be used;
welding is completely done by hand with TIG
technology in a protected atmosphere. The
tailpipes are realised entirely in titanium
and each component, whether internal and
external, is manufactured with maximum care,
solely in titanium, while the exterior casing is
available in both fibrous carbon and in titanium
of reduced thickness.
Gianluca
Montiron – JiR Moto2 Team Principal:
“We have
reached an exclusivity agreement with SC-Project for such an
important element of the motorcycle as the exhaust system.
Before making our decision we were very impressed by its
performance and the professional approach showed by the
company. Being able to rely on a technical development is
important as well as the willingness to build a commercial
partnership that could let the company interact with its
clients around the world with such a promotional vehicle as
the rider and the team of JiR. We have built up a fresh new
partnership and I hope that together we can aim at ambitious
targets in our first year of collaboration.”
