The Concept Motorcycle

The Polaris Industrial design team contacted Rath Racing with the ultimate drawing concept of a motorcycle with the challenge at hand, could Rath Racing help turn the project into a reality.

The motorcycle came by its name for several reasons. The design team felt the name CORE perfectly reflects the essence of this concept motorcycle. It is, in fact, the raw “core” or center of a motorcycle. There is no traditional bodywork; the motorcycle is effectively turned inside-out with its architecture completely exposed. It also accentuates the innovative frame design and the process that is used to make the cast aluminum frame: the molten aluminum is poured into a sand core, which is removed when the casting process is complete.

 The fact is a project like CORE is as important to the design team as winning Daytona would be to an engineering team. ‘Pushing the boundaries’ is just another cliché – CORE exists to show the world how dedicated Victory is to the art and science of motorcycle design.”
