2023 VERTIGO NITRO RS AND RSR

Honed from Vertigo’s experience and successes in the most demanding competitions come the brand-new Vertigo Nitro RS and RSR. These new state-of-the-art models have been designed in conjunction with the entire Vertigo technical team.

The Nitro RS and RSR have been developed in competition by Vertigo elite riders whose feedback and riding experience have helped to finetune every last detail, leading to their great successes in the 2022 season.

Vertigo Nitro RS: The main improvements to the RS are non-engine-related innovations. Given its proven reliability, it hasn’t undergone any significant modifications. The Nitro’s electronic injection-fuelled engine has proven to be one of the most powerful in each of its various displacements.

The main feature of the new models is the rear suspension. The two-way Reiger shock absorber – three-way on the RSR – delivers superior performance thanks to its new Vertigo-designed linkage system, which was one of the key components in last season’s successes. Having proven its effectiveness, it has been incorporated into the production series, equipping the new RS and RSR from their inception. The chassis also features machined aluminium brake callipers, foot-pegs, and a 6mm sump guard. The rims are anodised in red, and the hubs are machined in silver.

The aesthetics of these Vertigo Nitro RS and RSR models are simply stunning. The snakeskin not only gives a racing look but also protects the swingarm, fork and subframe from damage.

RSR Exclusive: Fittingly, the new Nitro RS also comes in a more ‘Racing’ version – the Nitro RSR – with certain elements that improve upon the RS performance even further. This includes new Tech Factory-made forks in exclusive Kashima Gold, a titanium exhaust front pipe and carbon fibre engine guards, as well as the new linkage system exclusive to the series.
