Motorcycle Trend Renard GT




Equipped with a kevlar-reinforced carbon fiber monocoque chassis that incorporates the airbox and fuel tank, the Renard GT is exceptionally strong and at just 190kg/419lbs (dry), pretty light too. But, rather than equip this futuristic platform with an equally high-tech engine, Renard chose to squeeze an air-cooled Guzzi v-twin into all that carbon. The result is a motorcycle that should be exceptionally good. At cruising.

Other fancy components include components milled from aircraft-grade aluminum billet and a carbon fiber girder fork that’s adjustable for rake and trail as well as the usual preload, compression and rebound damping.
