Competitive racing demands the never-ending pursuit of higher power and speed.

Refinement of each key section drives home the advantages of core features!

This latest model in the V-ONE ‘R4’ series builds on its sparkling record of success in major racing events in Japan and around the world, including the IFMAR World Championships. Since its release in March 2011, various models including R4SP and R4s Rubber Tire Spec have lead transitions in the racing scene, and this R4 Evo. chassis kit embodies the power and racing speed of the latest advancements in engine power for the highest spec in the R4 series. Newly shaped main chassis and upper deck are the foundation of improved mechanical grip and optimal performance in a wide variety of racing conditions. The new aerodynamic front bumper delivers improved turning stability while the front knuckles and rear hubs can be installed with optional carbon discs to provide increased high-speed stability and chassis setting variation. Other features include a gear diff incorporating high-strength sintered gears, high-durability lightweight joint cups, compact radio box with robust crash protection for the receiver, easy to remove fuel tank, so the overall durability, reliability and maintainability of the machine has been dramatically improved. These are practical design and engineering advances that will put you on the road to race victory!

Upper deck reduces rigidity around the front to induce chassis roll to realize improved control response and steering feel.Revised design of main chassis front section increased ground feel. Combines with new shape of upper deck to produce optimal steering characteristics.3D aerodynamic design of front bumper acts like a wing to deliver increased stability in cornering and high-speed turns.Newly designed rear shock stay is compatible with a wide selection of aftermarket low height bodies to achieve a lower center of gravity.Compact radio box not only protects receiver from crash damage, but also fuel splashes and wiring trouble.The low center of gravity design of the R4 Evo. effectively prevents the high side that troubles GP touring cars while running on high-grip surfaces.
