PICTURE: KR swing-arm on WSBK Hondas.
Both the factory-backed Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team and privateer outfit Alto Evolution are now running Team KR built swing-arms on their CBR1000RRs.
The KR swing-arm is noticeably different from the 'standard' design, as used by DFX Honda, which has a large rectangular cutaway on each side (lower picture).
That standard version was used by Ten Kate's Roberto Rolfo at Qatar and Phillip Island, before the Italian joined world championship leading team-mate James Toseland in using the KR design last weekend at Donington Park.

Alto Evolution riders Karl Muggeridge and Josh Brookes also tried the standard design, before switching to the KR version.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
