World's First Production Supersport Bike born on the Isle of Man TTXGP goes live in Las Vegas

The ripples cast by the Isle of Man TTXGP 2009 continue to spread.

On November/3rd, 2009 at 1305Hrs PST, the world's first supersport bike bred on the Isle of Man TTXGP will be launched in Las Vegas at the SEMA Show.

______________________

The bike is not only attracting the attention of riders – UK music top ten chart topper, 20 year old
Jodie Aysha (No 2 hit with ‘Heartbroken’) is using it in the promotional film for her new single ‘Pozer’
which will be released in January 2010. The film will appear mid December on MTV.

Azhar Hussain, who is producing the TTX02, said, “This shows how mainstream TTX02 is if it is
attracting the attention of urban pop stars. We are living in a click culture and connectivity is the key,
across the board.”

Hussain founded TTXGP, the world’s first zero carbon, zero emission motorcycle race which took
place at the Isle of Man TT in June this year. The TTX02 is inspired by the winning entry for that
race, the Agni X01. It has been built on a chassis espcially supplied from the factory of one the world’s
leading motorcycle manufacturers for Mavizen.

The focus of TTX02 is to increase the access for those that want to be part of the TTXGP. Being able to build your own machine for this level of motorsport is a high hurdle that we seek to remove. Bigger, faster and safer demands a co-ordinated factory approach to motorsports and this is the gap that the Mavizen TTX02 is filling. 

“With the success of the TTXGP on the Isle of Man, we have shown that zero carbon technology is
ready to deliver the thrills and passion for spectators and riders alike."

“The limited production bike, the Mavizen TTX02, gives potential participants a chance to acquire a
bike that they can develop themselves to make it competitive and unique to them. Racing is brutal
but at least with the Mavizen TTX02, the racers can start with a proven platform.”

TTX02 is also the first factory production vehicle to be delivered with a dedicated IP access and
connectivity to the network.

“By building on the open standards of the internet and the PC, we unlock the creativity and lower
the costs of innovation for teams, enthusiasts and riders. TTX02 is a development platform that
invites the potential for success previously seen in electronic hardware and software, into the
automotive industry. We need to pick up the pace of innovation and make it real fast; TTX02 is a
key marker in that journey”

“In partnership with bodies such as the British sanctioning body, the Auto Cycle Union (ACU) and
the Fédération Internationale de Motocylisme (FIM) we are able to take the next steps and push
new frontiers in motorsports technology both on and off the track. This includes planning for a brand
new TTXGP US Championship 2010. Competition improves the breed, so we invite the best and the
brightest in the world to join us’” said Hussain.

Mavizen TTX02 will be available for delivery in Q1/2010 with a limited production of 50 units. To

TTXGP UNLOCKED
It’s hard to capture the essence of something which started running before it could walk and is now
sprinting, but we’ve put down a few bullets on where we came from and where we are now.

industry.
