Formula Trisled Racing HPV
Newsflash!
Overhead protection now available for AIPP Super Series
Trisled has developed Formula Trisled overhead protection for the AIPP Super Series. Scroll down for further details or order online.
The Formula Trisled model is a versatile, affordable, faired machine designed for durability and performance. This model has been based on extensive consultation with teachers involved in HPV programs and encourages schools to involve students and interested volunteers in the assembly of the fairing while ensuring the team has a reliable and competitive vehicle for race day.
Formula Trisled is based around a reworked version of Trisled’s longstanding Fast Back racing trike and includes a computer-cut corflute fairing kit for the team to assemble themselves. The kit also includes a CD PowerPoint presentation designed to be used as an instructional and educational aid for both classroom and homebuilding settings. The fairing kit is fully recyclable and can be purchased separately when the previous fairing is ready to be retired.
The model’s specially-designed alloy seat enables teams to construct simple support seats to accommodate different rider heights. The model is available in both a primary and secondary school size.
Formula Trisled was tested by the Trisled all-girls team at the 2007 EIEP HPV Grand Prix held at Maroondah. The team achieved third place in the community class and eighth place overall, competing against 42 other entrants, including hybrid motor-assisted vehicles. The team’s five riders were competing predominately against all-male teams. Since then, Formula Trisled vehicles have been raced at many events around Australia and now form the basis of an independent category at the AIPP Super Series (see news flash at top of page), allowing teams to compete on an even playing field.
The Formula Trisled Racing HPV features:
• 16 inch front wheels
• 20 inch rear wheel
• Powder-coated 4130 Chromoly frame, roll bars and side intrusion rail
• 8 or 9 speed transmission
• Aluminium seat and seat pad
• Disc brake front end
• Roll frame: one roll bar supported at the rear, one leg bar and side rail frame to support body
• One computer-cut corflute fairing kit (not assembled)
• An instructional PowerPoint presentation comprehensively covering the assembly of the vehicle
The corflute fairing kit is available in white or black only and can easily accommodate stickers or logos. Two-tone corflute (as pictured) is available on request and is recommended for easier assembly. Trisled can also arrange custom stickers on request for an additional charge.
Formula Trisled is available for purchase without the fairing for schools that wish to purchase the fairing kit at a later date.
The Formula Trisled roll-frame has been specifically designed to support the fairing kit. Owners of other racing vehicles, including the TrisSled Fast Back Racing Trike, will need to modify their roll-bars to support the fairing.
