Cathcart at speed aboard the R1 test mule. Right: Although rake on the C1 is set at a fairly radical 22.5 degrees, trail is adjustable from 89 to 110mm via spacers that hold the axle. What's more, front-end damping and preload--as well as spring rates themselves--can be changed due to the Oehlins shock's easy access. The three-quarter view sans bodywork shows the bike's narrow build and relatively longish 56-inch wheelbase. Claimed dry weight is 401 pounds, a bit on the chunky side, though Czysz says that will come down as the bike nears production.
