About the Motorcycle

True-to-Life Cornering with Semi-Direct Steering System (S.D.S.S.)

At the heart of the Hang On Racer’s performance is the S.D.S.S., a unique steering mechanism that enables the model to lean deeply into corners, just like a real motorcycle. This design integrates the rider figure into the steering response, creating a natural hang-on effect that enhances both control and visual realism. The articulated rider, featuring 13 points of motion, moves with the bike for a seamless and lifelike riding experience that beginners and veterans alike will appreciate.

Faithful Scale Detail and Race Heritage

From the brake calipers to the asymmetrical swingarm, the Hang On Racer replicates the legendary S.R.T. Suzuki RGV-? that competed in the 1991 and 1992 racing seasons. Two sets of racing number decals (No.55 & No.5) let you represent the bike in either of its championship liveries. The combination of chain drive, mono-shock rear suspension, inverted front fork, and twin-tube frame not only enhances mechanical function but also showcases stunning display-level accuracy that makes this a model worthy of any shelf or starting line.

Easy Assembly and Upgraded Components

Despite its intricate detail and engineering, the kit features a simplified build process with minimal parts, making it beginner-friendly while still rewarding to construct. Key upgrades like a durable metal pinion gear and Le Mans DM20 motor offer improved durability and smooth power delivery. With thoughtful additions such as fall-prevention guards and a central battery location, Kyosho ensures that this bike is not just beautiful, but also practical for real-world R/C use.
