The
theory behind it all
XXtreme buggies are created and designed by Ruud
van Engelen (H5) as he is the founder of XXtreme. Drafter/designer for XXtreme
is Jeroen Potters (H140) aka "Ozzy".
The XXtreme XXracer and
the XXtreme ApeXX are both buggies for competitive racing. The ApeXX is on the
cutting edge of design in front of the fast developments which occur nowadays
in the international competition scene.
The ApeXX is the latest type of XXtreme
and based on the concepts from a number of pilots, for example Michel Dekker (H20)
and Jerome Grimminck (H9) had a great input in this proces.
Both of the
buggies are build to give every pilot excellent comfort, sitting position and
roadholding. The buggies are therefore ideal to every pilot's demands, also with
intensive usage. All modification made, for example different sizes of wheels
and skates have no influence on the geometrics of whole buggy. This concepts is
still unique in the buggy scene. Here are some concepts which make the XXtreme
buggies so special: Stiffnes of the frame is a thing we put a lot of effort in.
The stiffer a frame is , the more “feel” or “control” the
pilot will have, especially with high speeds and in bends the XX-buggy will have
a better grip then the conventional buggies. The result of this is that race tracks
can be riddenmore effectively and faster. The cross in the back of the frame is
also a very important part of this design.
Seat and Comfort
The
seat of the XXtreme buggy is specially designed so that the sidebars are not under
pressure. The sidebars are designed with an extra curve, so that the elbows can
not reach the sidebars while steering your kite in difficult manoeuvres, this
doesn't effect the comfortable side support which the sidebars should offer. The
seat is fully adjustable so that pilot has a good sitting position . Due to the
overall design the seating position will not be affected when other wheels are
mounted. Bigfoots, disc wheels or small dia wheels. The front fork can be adjusted
in length without changing the sitting position of the pilot. This is also possible
with the footsteps, these can be adjusted in horizontal and vertical plane.As
well as the Bigfoot fork as the standard fork Balancing of the buggy
To
keep better track, it's possible to add a balance set on the XX-buggy. A balance
set consists of two 2,5 kg weight for the front fork (mounted on both sides) and
a holder with 7 weights of 2 kg each, which are mounted parallel of the rear axle.
This set makes it possible to create a personal adjustment to cope with diffent
surfaces (hard,soft,tarmac or ice) , the problem of drifting can be reduced to
almost 0% ! If you need special wishes regarding weights (for example more wheight),
you can always contact us for that.
Number plates
The numberplates
are designed within constrictions of the FISLY rules and offers besides that more
than enough space for personal decorations or advertisements.
