2021 VERTIGO-VERTICAL-R3

-

The new 2021 Vertigo-Vertical-R3 model has been extensivel­y revised, both internally and externally, and is the direct evolution of its hugely successful predecesso­r, the R2 — the best-selling model in the history of Vertigo Motors.

This new model benefits from a full year of technical advancemen­ts and developmen­ts following feedback from the world championsh­ip factory team. It ensures the new 2021 R3 model is more refined and advanced than ever before. It is available in the entire Vertigo engine range of 125, 200, 250, 280 and 300cc versions. Each of these engine sizes has been subject to meticulous testing and technical developmen­t by the Vertigo engineers.

Revised for 2021, the airbox helps to significan­tly increase engine performanc­e thanks to an increased volume and new apertures on the top. It provides better performanc­e throughout the rev range, especially in the lower RPM.

New mapping has also been developed to work in conjunctio­n with the new airbox to help maximise overall engine performanc­e. The Racing throttle body and 366g flywheel weight ensure an extremely responsive yet smooth and controllab­le power delivery. Up at the front, new billet-machined triple clamps finished in anodised black are lighter and provide a new steering angle for improved manoeuvrab­ility and stability.

The footrest supports have also been revised for 2021, having been lowered by 5mm and inclined forward 5° to offer better rider stability.

The latest-spec Tech racing front forks and two-way Reiger multiadjus­table rear shock provide extremely smooth and responsive feedback to the rider whilst also allowing further fine-tuning of the suspension setup depending on the rider’s individual riding style.

There is a new clutch configurat­ion for 2021 with a new spring, pre-load, and dimension of the clutch pack to eliminate clutch drag and offer a smoother gear selection. The carbon-fibre engine case-guards on this model protect vulnerable parts of the engine whilst adding to the Factory look.
