Another speed up module in the market, this time from the Japanese company SE. Like the other ones we have already seen in the market it promises to unleash the true performance of the 300X power plant. Additionally, the particular one promises higher top speed up to +7mph over the stock 300X. Is this true or not? We wait until it will be confirmed on a test.

Air Time Products of UK have designed and manufactured its own version of twin-spar handlepole. The particular pole which is illustrated on a Rickter hull might share the same idea but it has its own spec. On the other hand someone may think why would you change it anyways?

Markus Erlach of sx-r.com has worked on his triple SX-R version. According to his sayings the project is interesting and very promising for the future. At the moment his engine set up reaches 7700rpm with 100octane fuel by using the stock pump with 33 degrees Celsius. He also works on special rde plate in order to gain approximately another mile in top speed but with this set up –the triple engine- top speed is not the key. Markus is also developing an Igni ECU for this particular engine although at the moment he is using an advent ignition. He stated that his SX-R is pretty fast and is going really well compared to other Kawasaki or tuned Stand Ups. In the near future he will work on a new triple set up with more fast goodies on it.
