C/5 SHORTY LEVERS TUCK IN TO SET WORLD RECORD AT
BONNEVILLE SPEED WEEK
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (September 1, 2009) - ASV clutch and brake levers gave the Race Tech-FL Racing CBR600RR one
of many small aerodynamic edges needed to break the five-year-old 650cc M/G
(modified, gas) record of 157.556
mph with a 162.026 mph run at Bonneville
Speed Week.
Breaking big speed records is all about sweating the smallest
details, said
Bonneville veteran and Race Tech owner Paul Thede: "Although it's hard to
measure how much closer each modification gets us to land-speed records, you'd
be surprised by how all of the little aerodynamic tricks add up to big mph
gains."
Thede, who piloted the bike to this and three other records, continued: "The
stock levers sit out in the breeze, while ASV's shorty levers stay within the
wind bubble, adding to the total aerodynamic package. Without a doubt, these
are well-made products that bolted right on."
In addition to providing record-breaking aerodynamic
advantages, ASV's innovative brake and clutch levers feature a pivoting design
that allows the lever to fold out of harm's way in the event of a crash or
tip-over. Instead of bending or breaking, the levers simply pivot away from the
handlebar when impact occurs and spring back instantly.
To fit all hand sizes and control
preferences, each ASV C/5 Sport lever comes in the wind-cheating "shorty" size
or the standard length and has a 3-in. range of on-the fly reach
adjustment that can be dialed in throughout 100 micro clicks. They're available
in black,
gold and raw billet (silver) anodized matte finishes for most
late-model sportbikes.
Made in USA, ASV's high-end
C/5 sportbike levers are carved from 6061 aluminum
billet, have sealed bearings, stainless-steel pivot
bushings and fasteners, and come with chrome silicon high-tension springs. They're fully rebuildable, carry a five-year
guarantee and retail for $125.
