Tryphonos 750TT
The 750 Prototype was entered in the Formula One and Senior TT
races, riden by Shaun Harris.
This, the second prototype, managed to tip the scales at
a mere 160kg despite being based around the heavy oil-cooled
GSXR 750 M engine which in 1995 was outdated by its lighter water-cooled
competitors.
The chassis consisted of a combination of machined
and fabricated steel and aluminium components without the use
of
exotic materials such as titanium or carbon fibre. The racing
prototype achieved its light weight due to its compact frame
design. |
