François Lemariey, Kawasaki Racing Team's Manager, talks about Olimunllum® after first pre-season race at MX International Valence 2012

Gautier Paulin on spot, MX Valence 2012

“It was a good day for us, even if the results are not very important in a pre season race. There was no pressure, we came there to prepare the season and do several tests. The riders got their bike this week, and a race is always the best place to made adjustments. We were pleased to meet this weekend some of our partners, such as representatives from Dunlop or Celtibero Racing Components, a company which provide us engine supports made of Olimunllum®, a structural carbon composite. Next week we’ll go to Hawkstone Park, it will be a first test on a sandy track.”

We were there to see and hear the people behind the requests for technology, and found out the most serene and focused individuals I have happened to meet in a world class mx event.
Thanks Françoise and Yves for the value share!

Kawasaki Racing Team takes Olimunllum® racing: Valence International MX 2012

Does your bike transmit you quickly but gently the information on traction, so will this allow you always to target tighter lines and get closer to the limits, as Gautier Paulin shows on this move.

Picking up his line...



...feeling the track



...taking it even tighter and making time






The Olimunllum® parts are here to work for the rider


The engine mounts developed by Celtibero Racing Components for the Kawasaki Racing Team improve sensitivity, damp disturbing vibrations and provide a better feeling for the frame reaction forces. This helps you choose tighter lines, explore traction limits, and feel good with your ride.

OLIMUNLLUM® QI-GRADE [CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED HIGH PERFORMANCE RACING COMPONENTS for Motocross, Enduro, Supermotard, Flattrack, Speedway, Trial and Road Racing]

The high tenacity of the reinforcing carbon fibres, the strenght, excellent impact, creep and temperature resistance of Olimunllum®, makes it our choice for engine mounts, chain wheels, chain guides and hand guards.

MATERIAL GENERAL DATA:

Olimunllum® carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic offers:

- excellent impact strenght and creep resistance
- very low coeff. of friction (0.15-0.25)
- high stiffness
- high damping (less vibrations) >15% higher than CF/Epoxy
- high chemical and corrosion resitance
- continuous service-temperature up to 250°C
- minimum weight (1/2 of Aluminum, 1/3 of Titanium, 1/5 of Steel)

We, at Celtibero, keep focused on developing your low weight, high performance racing components for Motocross, Enduro, Supermotard, Flattrack, Speedway, Trial and Road Racing.

European, Italian and Swiss Motocross Championship riders like Mario Bertocchi, Robby Bottesi, four times Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes, Flattrack aces Aidan Collins, Jacopo Monti among others are already riding with Celtibero racing components.

“That the Olimunllum® race products do also look unique is not a coincidence. Real performance seldom looks wrong”.

Celtibero high performance racing parts

That the Olimunllum® race products do also look unique is not a coincidence. Real performance seldom looks wrong.

Olimunllum® is the sum of the proven high performance fibre and the probably most preciously engineered plastic of our time. The result is the high tenacity of the reinforcing fibers paired with the strenght, excellent impact, creep and temperature resistance of the polymer, that makes Olimunllum® our choice for dynamic structural parts -like engine mounts-, wear resistant components -like chain wheels-, and heat resistance products -like our exhaust systems-.



Olimunllum® also exhibits a damping characteristic unseen in classic composites, which significantly reduces vibrations. Add chemical and corrosion resistance, as well as 250°C continuous use temperature, and see Olimunllum® components adapted for the use in the most arduous environment.

Main material characteristics

- minimum weight (1/3 of Titanium, 1/5 of Steel)
- very high strength
- excellent impact strength and creep resistance
- high damping (less vibrations) > 15% higher than conventional carbon fibre composites
- high chemical, corrosion and temperature resistance (250°C continuous use)

Celtibero Racing Components Team ready to line up for the first run at the UK Shorttrack Champioship 2011. See you in Oxford!

After hard and meticulous mechanical work rebuilding the base bike, engineering and tests on our low inertia Celtibero Racing Components, comings and goings from test bench to test bench, from test track to workshop and back to make sure our parts work out as good as we target, this along with lots of great support from friends and family (thanks Jan-Willem for the beautiful head work), we can't wait any longer and go now racing.

If you love riding like we do, you know how hard the waiting can be until you fire up the engine, select first gear and start rolling. Finnaly ready for the track! Last week we went to Jacopo's and Ulde's beautifully shaped and very technical training track in Novara, Northwest Italy, for a first real roll out. Jacopo, very fit and critical as I have never seen him before, welcomes the great power at high revs, the ability to pull the gears over 10'000 engine rpm and the light and nimble frame. He starts tighting corner lines and sliding as deep as he points, which looks like a game when you watch from the wall, scares you when you observe it close at the corner entry, and don't believe when you see it on pictures.

First test rounds

And here a back view!



Thankfully, little issues came up, like a fuel-tank cracke, a leak in one fork, and wrong mounting clearances between our own silencer and the swingarm, but, hey! we didn't even had to make a single adjustment on the suspension.

Jacopo Monti. Testing in Novara, Italy

So now, 2 further crazy days sorting last details, organizing logistics, (like always, we are later than late on that) then entering the real life: The round 1 of the 2011 POZZANI GRAND NATIONAL UK CHAMPIONSHIP.

Our goal for this Friday in Oxford: see Jacopo challenging the best shorttrack riders in europe, UK's number 1 Aidan Collins, number 2 Tom Wooley, 2009 Champion Peter Boast, Les Collins, Eddy Kenneth, Steve Plater, and guest riders like Dave Alana (USA), Tyson Nelson (aus) and many more, and see all souls involved in our quest with a big sincere smile in their faces. Monti’s unmistakable style will be, in any case, a guarantee for that smile.

Good job guys!

Stay tuned and follow us if don’t want to miss it!
