Protolite single seat Crossbreed XK1000

[ProtoDie]

Per a customer request I am just wrapping up designing another single seat buggy to add to our list of models

The goal was to have a 60" wide buggy like our XK450, yet all the power and performance of the 1000cc buggies

This has our XK front end design, combined with our rear engine cradle package off the DXT & 2 seat SS1000

this way you can have the same engine cradle as our other buggies and the option of live axle or reverse

this will definitley be a great trail machine at 60" wide and also have a ton of power to tear up the dunes


XK1000 specs

Front
58-60” wide
16-17” travel front
7 degrees rake

Rear
58-62” wide
12” travel
4 degrees rake


114”- 116” long
56-57” tall

1 1/2 dia tubing

here are some design pics

I really like the side vents. Way to tie the 2 models together, and to get rid of some the header heat. Good stuff!

Now your cooking with gas.... Is the whole rear drive line scaled down or just closer mounting points? Are you gonna have the suspension parts for this added to the web site?

I see a few of these in the utvrr in the future.

I agree, this would be a real good fit for UTVRR and the tighter trails.


Yes, after this build the parts will be available on the website.

the changes in the rear are different A arms and a new rear wheel upright that uses the 24 spline micro stub and 3 bolt bearing assembly.
This is a a 5 on 4 3/4 bolt hub

the engine cradle is pretty much the same , has the same mounting points .
you can bolt interchange the a arms and parts to be 68" wide or 58" wide
