Replacing the successful Sakura XI and XI DH, comes the all new Sakura Ultimate featuring all that we’ve learned in the past 2 years resulting in a completely redesigned race platform which to the untrained eye may seem similar to the previous Sakura while it is anything but.

Our focus has been on improvements in the production process, material engineering, reduction in maintenance time and frequencies, suspension geometry, flex symmetry and weight distribution.

Sakura Ultimate will redefine the meaning of performance in an affordable package.
