CKU28 Sport Fitness
The CKU28 is the ultimate training device for professional motorcycle riders.
Developed specially for exercising all the muscles and movements specific to motorcycle racing, which would otherwise be impossible to work as a whole during a normal fitness session.
The CKU28 fitness machine simulates a racing motorcycle with enough regulations and settings so that each rider can find the original position of their racing motorcycle. At first glance this may look like a video game, but in fact, the monitor displays video recordings taken by on-board cameras of the laps at different circuits during the World Championship.
Although its development took more than a year, the way the final model works is relatively simple: you only need to enters the racer’s weight and, if necessary, mimic the set-up of their racing motorcycle so that it can find all of their custom footrests, levers, and controls. This is enough to start a specific race-simulation training session.
Furthermore, the CKU28 also allows you to adjust the aggressiveness of its movements, especially to recover the simulator to its vertical position. The brake and clutch pressure, as well as the levers and gearshift can also be adjusted.
The training
A training session consists of fluidly and naturally mimicking the image displayed on the monitor installed in front of the handlebars, and not in the opposite direction as would be the case of a video game simulation.
Once the motorcycle is tilted, its return to the vertical position is automatically driven by a mechanism that activates when accelerating with the right fist. Therefore, it is the rider gently or abruptly accelerating out of the curves which causes the simulator to return to an upright position.
The exercise sessions are realistic and consistent, allowing for reliable simulations in terms of the rider’s effort and wear and tear, being able to train for entire races, qualifying laps, endurance tests…
The simulation
As for the simulation, the device is configurable and adjustable to the point that in half an hour we can mimic the real racing motorcycle of any rider who provides us with his or her sizes.
Tailor-made CKUs perfectly reproduce the ergonomics of the rider in question and are produced under the supervision of their own physiotherapist, which guarantees an optimum workout.
As for the shape, and as an interesting fact, the fairings, levers, grips, footrests, etc. are exactly the same as those of racing motorcycles, meaning that we give each rider a CKU that, in addition to being tailor-made, is an exact replica of their bike.
The device comes with a television monitor that contains on-board recordings of the laps at all MotoGP World Championship circuits.
One person can operate and manage it. It is foldable and has wheels. It plugs in to 220V DC. The configuration is through easy menus. While everything can be configured, the only essential requirement is that the user enters their weight before each session.
