New Lorenzo replica looms

Sadly there are no plans afoot at present to produce Jorge Lorenzo’s classy Captain America design from this weekend’s Indianapolis MotoGP, but X-Lite have just released a replica of his 2009 campaign design on the 802 shell for the road.

The 802 was only launched at the end of last year and is an evolution of the 801RR.

It still has a carbon Kevlar composite shell but with a revised ventilation system, a new visor for a wider field of vision and a multi-adjustable spoiler on the back.

The Lorenzo replica costs £449.99.
