Bottpower BOTT XR1R Is Coming to a Track Near You

We’ve been following the guys at Bottpower for quite a while now, with their latest efforts revolving around the Bott XR1 – an intriguing street bike concept that uses a Buell “Thunderstorm” v-twin engine.

They project lead to the Bottpower XC1, a café racer variant of the street bike, and today we are going to give you a preview about Bottpower’s third iteration, the BOTT XR1R.

A torquey track bike, for those who want something a little different. For right now, the Bottpower BOTT XR1R is a testing platform for the Spanish outfit, serving as a the proving grounds for new bike components and systems.

As such, the BOTT XR1R features a titanium frame and a full suite of racing electronics, which includes traction control, launch control, three selectable engine maps, and data acquisition. Bottpower’s aim with the BOTT XR1R is to achieve a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, with a target of 150hp and 150kg.

But, what really piques our interest though is Bottpower’s plan to race the BOTT XR1R at Pikes Peak next year, a testament to the hill climb’s prestige abroad. We should have more information on those plans soon.

Until then, we have just these two teaser photos and a video that Bottpower sent us. Expect the full monty tomorrow, when the Bottpower BOTT XR1R officially drops.
