Since the release of the first X1, the competition level of the Formula class continues to rise so it’s no surprise that Team XRAY continues to drive development and push performance boundaries.

With XRAY’s philosophy of engineering & racing perfection, the X1 was designed using the world's most sophisticated CAD, virtual-reality technology. Manufactured using our top-of-the-line, in-house machining; the X1 has attained a level of perfection that is second to none.
