"From Russia with love", Molot - the first Russian superbike motorcycle

The Russians are slowly but steadily making their way to the top of the motorcycle market. At Chak Motors, they presented a study of an advanced superbike motorcycle, which is not only one of the fastest in the world, but also one of the safest. Namely, it has many safety systems known from automobiles, design, development and production, which is read and write: manual, takes place in Saint Petersburg.

The special features of this superbike motorcycle start with the shape. It is extremely aerodynamic and also modern futuristic design, partly to slightly disguise the fact that it's basically a motorcycle honda CBR 1000 RR ABS, which serves as the basis for the molotov, and partly due to the fact that they wanted to improve its performance and efficiency with the best possible aerodynamics.

With this purpose, they modified the frame to make it look lighter, and the same grip was used on the rear swingarm, which, despite its light appearance, is extremely strong, using a combination aluminum and composite materials but they also achieved extraordinary strength, which is reflected in the fact that the arm can withstand a weight of over 200 kilograms. For the best aerodynamics they "hid" all the pipes and wires inside or under the armor, and the result is an even cleaner design.

Technological advancement is already demonstrated by the front headlight, which consists entirely of LEDs and as such is the first motorcycle with "full LED" headlight, and in the field of assistance systems, it is the first to offer systems such as PEBS or a system that detects an approaching obstacle and brakes accordingly (known in motoring as emergency braking system). The system acquires information through HD cameras placed between the headlights, and in a fraction of a second it acquires key information and reacts accordingly if necessary. In addition, it also has blind spot detection system and lane detection (better known as lane assist system). The latter work with the help of a camera similar to the previously mentioned PEBS system, except that it is mounted on the rear of the motorcycle. With the help of both cameras, the motorcycle acquires information both while driving (even on the race track) and when it is parked in the garage (protection against theft), and the data is stored 24/7 in a special black box that is protected against impacts , temperature and other influences.

However, the Russians are still fairly tight-lipped about the technical characteristics of the motorcycle, as well as its capabilities, and its price remains a secret, but it will certainly not be low.
