MXLR MTC3 FlexBumper

Max Machler’s MXLR brand has added the Mugen Seiki MTC3 to its offering of 3D printed FlexBumpers. Weighing 9.5 grams, it is printed with thermoplastic polyurethane for the optimal strength and flexibility and matches the original MTC3 footprint but with a lower overall profile. Over a foam bumper the advantages of a FlexBumper are it absorbs hits better and does not transfer them as much into the chassis structure. More robust and sturdy, it always goes back to original shape and don’t drag on the floor after a crash.

Additional body support posts have been added into the front of the chassis to keep the fairing even more secure at high speeds. The bike has better cooling with no more duct tape fixes needed. The new 3-piece system is clean, cool and easy to swap when you bin it at turn three. The Receiver Box is now standard in the kit. At the Front End things have been updated with a new floating axle and the hub system tightens the front right up. No risk of fork bind or vague turns, just grip, lean and go. There is an optional Double Rear Swingarm with a new driveline config meanng you can swap sides depending on track direction — plus extra lean angle and smoother load on the bearings. Fixed Front Brake Rotor mean no more floaty drag and noisy disc. What used to be a premium upgrade, NAI Fork System is stock for quality that is buttery out of the box.
