SANCTUARY's Z1
The Z1's early yellow ball pattern is finished in gold and contrasted with the tightened black undercarriage. AC Sanctuary's complete custom, RCM (Radical Construction Manufacture). Each of the high-brand quality parts, such as Ohlins suspension, Brembo brake system, and forged wheels by O-Z Motorcycle, have updated. In this context, the engine has evolved significantly.
Machining bike engine parts improves engine precision, resulting in a quieter and smoother ride. Specifically, DiNx technology can be used to improve the performance of valve guides by modifying them, machining the ports and cutting the seats more precisely, and fully rebuilding the crank. Additionally, improving connecting rods and other parts in the future will add precision to the entire. These precision machined bikes provide a more comfortable riding experience, from the body and exterior to the engine. This meticulous manufacturing process makes the bike more sophisticated and precise.
