Weight saving where you need it the most

**Edbear** · 17th September 2011, 15:57

On or off-road, you are all looking to save weight, right? A few grams here and a few there, can make a wee difference in acceleration and handling.

How much money, time and effort have you put in to saving weight? How keen are you to save weight and balance the bike?

How would you like to save 3 - 4kg right where it counts, in one move..?

No, I'm not pushing Jenny Craig, although some may think that to be a good way, I'm talking about ditching your battery!

Shorai USA have the ultimate secret weapon, batteries that give far superior kick and longevity and weigh just 700g!

Check the threads, "Gobsmacked today" and "Shorai LFX Lithium batteries."

Some are under the 700g, and depending on application start at $179.00. Check www.shoraipower.com the US site, and enter either your bike details or the equivalent battery for the model to suit you. The most you'll pay here for a Shorai for your bike would be $249.00.

Bulls is a long way from here...

You can have it delivered for $179.00 plus the usual $6.50 P&H...

Next shipment is due to leave the States on 25th so should be in stock about the 30th. We are having real difficulties with supply due to excessive demand and I'm spending all the money I have to try to get enough stock in to keep up or ahead.

The demand just from the US is meaning Shorai are constantly running out of stock despite having increased production!

how much for one for an R1.
Ive never heardof them, are theynew? is there some sort of independent testing that shows their ability to perform long term?

$249.00 for a 14A as featured in "Gobsmacked.." I forgot, I was offering free delivery for KB'rs

They are relatively new, they've been selling in the US for a wee while. Shorai are on Facebook where you can see a few videos. I've been importing them since January. They claim up to four times the life and the batteries are safe and environmentally safe as well.
