Following on from the announcement of the new SHO cell from Team Orion, a safer and more stable option to the current competition cells on the market, the Swiss company have released the first information about the EU2008 version of that cell. Made to meet the new 2008 EFRA regulations concerning cell size, these cells are 42.5mm in length, still staying under the 43mm maximum size after expansion. Team Orion have invested heavily in new tooling to create this new EFRA standard sized cell and they have been tested extensively by their team driver Teemu Leino over the past few months to ensure optimal results. Expect them to go on sale next week.
