UoP2evo

2008
Yamaha XT600E single-cylinder

UoP2evo is an almost complete upgrade of UoP2. Using the same basic components, the chassis was redesigned to improve stiffness, while changes to almost every subsystem cut its total weight further. Track was increased for stability and damper actuation changed to push-rod. A completely new, lighter and higher-quality bodywork was built. The car took part successfully in every event it entered, giving the team valuable experience for the cars that followed.
