Guruma 1000 RR is a sport motorcycle designed for everyday road riding. The chassis combines 3D printed PEEK engineering plastic with a one-piece carbon fiber body and fuel tank, giving a curb weight of 215 kg and high torsional rigidity. The 1,051 cc inline four-cylinder engine delivers 140 horsepower and 105 Nm of peak torque. A six-axis inertial measurement unit supports cornering ABS and traction control. A TFT touchscreen shows vehicle status and group communication, and onboard sensors detect hazards around the parked motorcycle.

Production Technology
The SS1000 adopts a core chassis structure printed with innovative 3D PEEK engineering plastic, and integrates an full-carbon fiber one-piece body and fuel tank, achieving the lightweight target of 215kg while delivering exceptional torsional frame rigidity. It leverages digital modeling, composite material hot-pressing molding, and precision electronic system integration technologies, guaranteeing exceptional performance and reliability in manufacturing.
Design Challenge
The core challenge lies in balancing multiple contradictions: leveraging PEEK plastic and carbon fiber for extreme weight reduction to ensure the frame maintains track-level rigidity; integrating a large number of intelligent sensors and electronic control hardware without compromising the motorcycle's compact layout and center of gravity; while providing extreme performance potential, the electronic system ensures safe release, avoiding uncomfortable experience caused by excessive technology.
Project Duration
The project is finished in 2026.
Operation Flow
The SS1000 centers on a zero riding learning curve and intuitive control. The 6-axis IMU electronic control system, along with Cornering ABS/TCS, provides seamless intervention for full riding protection. The TFT intelligent touchscreen integrates AI visual assistance prompts, Mesh group communication, and vehicle status management. The 360° Sentinel Mode leverages on-vehicle sensors to automatically detect parking environment hazards and log data, enabling all-weather secure interaction.
Research
This research project is dedicated to resolving the challenges of top-tier sport motorcycles—including excessive performance, heavy handling burden, and inadequate safety features—when utilized on roads. Through material innovation, aerodynamic optimization and intelligent integration, it explores how to safely deliver track-level performance to more users, reimagining the performance standards and user experience for high-performance motorcycles.
Inspiration
The SS1000 draws inspiration from a vision that brings elite racing tech within reach of all riders. The design team identified a core challenge: the more extreme the performance of a race motorcycle, the harder it becomes to deliver long-term, reassuring riding experiences to seasoned road riders. Based on the needs and hassles of pro racers and riding enthusiasts, the team has creatively integrated F1-grade material concepts, aerodynamic design, and consumer-grade intelligent systems.
