MAKING OF STR (2010)
Philippe is a cool french guy that phone us for “Radicalize” his bike.
He come to Madrid to bring his ST2 to us, for modify it and take a look to our shop.
Philippe saw our RAD02 UNO and fall in love inmediately: “I want my bike like UNO !!! “.
We spend one complete day for make concrete the project of his bike, wich equipment would be mounted: Discacciati Brakes System, RAD triple clamp yokes, Carbon fiber bodywork, Ergal clip ons, Aviacompositi rev counter, Elipsoidal homologated front light, S2R swingarm, 5 spokes wheels, Engine tuning, Two in one exhaust with megaphone......And more, and more !!!. :-)
He was like a child in a toy shop !!!
All our bikes are customized including the name, each bike made in Radical has his own name.
For the Philippe’s bike we decided to name her ST Racer: STR
