Christini AWD Motorcycles

By Paul Crowe

Christini AWD motorcycle systemChristini Technologies of Philadelphia, PA is planning to make their AWD technology available later this year. Christini makes both AWD bicycles and motorcycles.

The bicycles have a bevel gear and pinion driven off the rear wheel rotating a shaft which in turn is routed to and drives the front wheel. The motorcycle system is driven directly off the transmission. It transmits the power to a gearbox under the seat which turns a pair of counter rotating shafts traveling down the fork tubes powering the front wheel. The two counter rotating shafts eliminate torque steer.

The system is a posi traction type unit which delivers power to the front wheel when the rear wheel slips. The amount of power transmitted to the front can be adjusted from 50% to 90%.

Currently the AWD system is aimed at the enduro and off road markets however they say on road applications are planned for the future. They have received a patent on the setup and are now taking applications for pre ordering the units.

    Is there any market/technical/racing consensus on wheather or not the Yamaha WR450F 2-Trac has been a success?
