Why A Carbon Fiber Nytro
What do Mclaren, Ferrari and The F-22 Raptor have in common? They are fast, and they are made with carbon fiber. The C3 Carbon Fiber Nytro, will be the Ferrari on the Snow.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon Fiber is a lightweight material with a low density and excellent fatigue resistance. It is stronger than aluminum and can be made to form many complex shapes.
Reducing the weight of a snowmobile improves many of its characteristics such as responsiveness, acceleration/deceleration, floatation, and overall climbing ability. When carbon fiber is used to replace other materials to reduce the weight, increased strength and rigidity are also achieved. On top of all that, carbon fiber looks simply amazing.
Nytro Project
Similarly to C3 PowerSports M Series and XP chassis, the design for the first all carbon fiber chassis for Yamaha will have four objectives; to improve performance, strength and reliability while significantly reducing overall weight.
We plan on building a one piece monocoque chassis like our Carbon Fiber XP that will use our integrated fuel cell concept.
The integrated fuel cell or IFC uses an internal partitioned baffle system which moves fuel through three separate compartments and holds the fuel at the front of the tank for consistent delivery and mass centralization. This eliminates the “sloshing” effect found in conventional fuel tanks.
By
reducing weight at the same time as adding strength and creating an improved center of gravity, the IFC chassis allows for better overall handling and reduces rider fatigue on long rides.
This carbon fiber chassis will be designed to accept all stock and aftermarket components and will require no further fabricating. It will be available in all stock lengths up to or beyond 174” and will handle 3” lugs on a 16” wide track.
We plan on saving 100 lbs or more on the Nytro. This will be obtained with a Carbon Fiber Chassis, Body Panels and Hood. More can be saved with lightweight suspension.
Let us know what you think, what would make the Nytro better and give us a call to be one of the first to own one.
