Sprint race bikes are known for their minimalistic design and focus on function over form. Valen Zhou’s Kawasaki-powered sprint build, however, stands out with its unique and creative design. The bike features a one-of-a-kind chassis that combines elements of road bicycle frames with a vintage double-cradle design.

The frame is wrapped in exhaust tape for added grip and is paired with custom suspension both front and rear, with the front featuring a bespoke shock and linkage, while the rear has a one-of-a-kind single-sided tubular swing-arm.

The engine is taken from a vintage Kawasaki KZ250 dirt bike and features an air-cooled quarter-liter single with a velocity stack intake and underslung cone muffler exhaust. The sprint racer has an aggressive riding position, with a bicycle seat, fixed foot pegs mounted high on the bike, and bespoke drop-down handlebars with a reverse clutch lever and custom gear-equipped throttle.

Instead of a traditional gas tank, the bike relies on several 17 oz aluminum water bottles for fuel. Braking is handled by a single rear disc borrowed from a motocross bike. The project is now complete, and fans eagerly await the racing debut of Valen Zhou’s Sprint Racing Moto. Take a look, and get more information via Zhou’s Instagram.
