from BrammoBlog post by SteveO:
--- Quote ---Working in conjunction with team sponsor Parker, an all-new motor has been designed and fitted to the existing chassis. On the dyno this new engine spun the drum at an extemely respectible 130hp. And though this number may not drop your jaw by itself, considering our peak output last year was roughly 88hp, a jump of over 40hp is pretty darn impressive. Add to that a winter diet that shaved off 35 pounds and a torque output that has doubled -- yes, doubled -- and the end result should surely be a noticeable difference. Oh, was it ever!

Nice.

35 pounds from a bike! That's insane! Whats left?
protomech:
Very nice, 35 lbs lighter, more motor. Wonder if the 88 hp from last year's bike was at the crank or at the wheel. Think someone somewhere said the battery pack was unchanged. Wonder if they built a new pack or are reusing last year's pack.
130 hp at the wheel isn't going to set the best qualifying time, but it should be enough to set competitive laptimes during the race.
2disbetter:
Very nice. Everything about the empulse rr is inspiring. Firstly because it's awesome for racing, but secondly (and IMHO more importantly) everything worked on and tested on the RR can be adapted to the R and future lines.
