Shepherd Velox V8 Pro conversion kit

Team Shepherd announce the release of the European Championship winning Velox V8 Pro conversion set. The kit contains all parts needed to upgrade the Velox V8 to the latest specifications as it was used by Jilles Groskamp and Daniel Sieber to win the Euros A and B. The new lower front arms are equipped with small uniballs for a stepless adjustment of the front anti-roll bar linkage while the CNC-machined aluminium bulkheads made of 7075-T6 aluminium sport a support for the ballraced wire-type anti-roll bar as well as plastic bushing for the one-way ball bearings. In addition the updated middle bearing block and the gear shaft bearing blocks are also equipped with plastic inserts for less vibrations and a smoother running of the ball bearings. The new hollow 8mm gearbox shaft reduces the rotating mass for improved acceleration and it features a much smaller 2-speed adapter and new aluminium adapters for the plastic pulleys. The set as well as the Velox V8 Pro kit are available now.
