Technology
JRS-M01's exceptional package of innovative technologies is unique. Through optimal use of the unique characteristics of the JRS-Engine a number of new possibilities arise, e.g. the area of chassis, driveline design, etc. There are also new possibilities in the areas of design, centre of gravity tuning and aerodynamics.
Technology
Powertrain
The different components of the driveline are optimally integrated with each other. The concept is characterised by a large amount of weight centralisation.
Technology
Chassis
The chassis is characterised by a large degree of integrated functions. The chassis frame, bucket and front and rear fork are merged together to form 1-part. The integral structure is a full carbon fibre monocoque. The monocoque is connected at the front and rear with the suspension.
Technology
Aerodynamics
Its aerodynamic package is unique. Just like its chassis, all aerodynamic elements are integrated into the carbon fibre monocoque. This results in a highly efficient aerodynamic shape: optimum airflow for absolute stability at all speeds and at the same time, minimal drag.
Technology
Safety
The JRS-M01 incorporates a large amount of active and passive safety. For instance there is an active suspension system, steer-by-wire and absence of interfering reaction forces. The rider sits completely within the contours of the full carbon fibre monocoque and is protected by an integrated crumple zone. There are also crash-buffers to protect the lower torso and legs.
Technology
Ergonomics
Every configuration has its own specific characteristic properties. The basic parameters are adjustable for each configuration. Different components, such as: steering, footrests, etc are free to choose and are freely adjustable. There are also personalised support elements for the lower torso and legs.
Technology
Powertrain
Engine
The JRS-Engine is a new concept for a rotary engine using an array of very small combustion units. The goal is to significantly improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, emissions, weight and cost in a very space efficient package. The JRS-Engine is suited for a range of fuels especially targeting next generations of biofuels. The potential of the concept has been verified by TNO. Patents haven been issues world-wide for this multi-functional and modularly constructed rotary engine.

Technology
Powertrain
Transmission
The transmission is fully automatic / manual transmission with double clutch. As a result there is no interruption in the pulling power, whereby a faster and more constant acceleration is achieved. In contrast to other systems, the clutch is located in the middle of the engine (perpendicular with the riding direction), which benefits the centralisation of weight.
Technology
Powertrain
Wheeldrive
The wheel drive consists from 2-small propshafts that turn in opposite directions. Each propshaft is fitted with 2 U-joints. As a result there are no disturbing reaction forces and the powertrain forces are separated from the suspension. This provides better steering properties. It is maintenance-friendly and has a low unsprung weight (better traction).
Technology
Chassis
Body
The load-bearing structure is full carbon-fibre “Monocoque”. The structure comprises 3 different main-components (mainbody, front sub-body and rear sub-body). It provides the optimum possibilities for weight and rigidity tuning. The integrated venturi tunnel contributes to the strength and rigidity. The inside of the motorcycle is more easily accessible for maintenance.
Technology
Chassis
Steering
The steering is a programmable steer-by-wire system. The steering type (classic, joystick, etc) and position is open for choice. The physical parameters (height, width, angles, etc) are totally adjustable. There is an integrated power steering and integrated steering damper. It has a low centre of gravity and centralisation of mass.
Technology
Chassis
Suspension
The suspension (front and rear) is a programmable hydro pneumatic spring system with rechtgeleiding. The brake forces are disconnected from the suspension. The wheelbase, front and rear runout are constant for all conditions. The spring and damping characteristics are dynamically adjusted.
Technology
Chassis
Brakes
The front-brake is made from 1-centrally positioned brake disk. The 3-brake callipers are evenly distributed over the circumference. This results in an even thermal-stress and a low unsprung weight with low rotational interia (regarding the wheel and steering axle).
Technology
Aerodynamics
Air-Channel
Through the entire motorcycle runs a large air channel. The “projected” surface is hereby reduced. This results in a lower CW-value. The air channel also has a venturi function that enables air to exit efficiently from the inside of the motorcycle and an efficient exit of the exhaust gases.
Technology
Aerodynamics
Air-Valve
An adjustable valve is fitted in the air channel. This valve can control the airflow through the channel. The valve opens during acceleration (less resistance) and closes during braking (more resistance). When open, the valve also works as a spoiler.
Technology
Aerodynamics
Diffusor
The end of the air channel has the form of a diffusor. This enables downward force that in turn aids traction. As the exhaust gases are blown into the diffusor, the working of the diffusor is intensified.
Technology
Aerodynamics
Hugger
A hugger with integrated spoiler is mounted on the rear wheel. The spoiler is blown onto by the airflow exiting the air channel. This enables downward force that in turn aids traction.
