Petronas SRT Ohvale releases MiniGP motorcycle
Petronas Sepang Racing Team (PSRT), in collaboration with Ohvale, has launched the Petronas SRT Ohvale Special Series MiniGP motorcycle, available as a limited edition of 46 units from September.
Created for leisure use on track, the bike is based on the Ohvale 160cc GP-0 model with a number of key enhancements and features as well as additional equipment. The Ohvale GP-0 is the same bike chosen by Dorna and FIM for the FIM MiniGP World Series Championship. Enhancements for the PSRT version include an upgraded chassis to allow a better fit for taller riders, fully adjustable suspension with Mupo front shocks and Ohlins at the rear, PSRT livery with winglets, Dell’Orto carburettor and a restyled Arrow exhaust system.
Each customer will receive an exclusive package consisting of bespoke branded tyre warmers, a branded race carpet and a bike cover. A selection of spare parts with a range of sprockets and pinions in a custom containment unit is also supplied.
The bike is finished in a limited-edition Petronas SRT livery, supplied by the same company that paints the team’s MotoGP race machines.
A limited 46 units of the Petronas SRT Ohvale Special Series MiniGP motorcycle will be built, each with a chassis number. Pre-orders are being taken now for delivery from September.
Razlan Razali, Team Principal, Petronas Sepang Racing Team, said the organisation is happy to reward its supporters with this limited-edition motorcycle. “This is a superb MiniGP bike that truly justifies the red-carpet treatment. This bike targets Petronas Sepang Racing Team enthusiasts who want to enjoy track action in the MiniGP format and we have worked with OHVALE to create something truly special with some of the best suppliers in the business. We looked at every element of ownership of one of these bikes when creating the package and there will be 46 very lucky people who have this in their garage,” said Razali.
Valerio Da Lio, CEO of Ohvale, said the company is proud to have created a special series, starting with the 160 GP-0 model. “Thanks to Ohvale’s Racing DNA and technical know-how, it has been possible to enrich this Petronas SRT Ohvale Special Series MiniGP with special parts for leisure on the track. We were also inspired by the MotoGP bike by using not only replica colours and graphics, but also special parts with a high technical value which differentiate this prestigious model. We thank our partners for the cooperation on this project and to everyone involved in the production of this Petronas SRT Special Series as well as to PSRT for their trust in our Ohvale GP-0,” said Da Lio.
