Unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show (November 2022) the Brixton Storr is a 500cc adventure bike which is the first in the adventure category for the Brixton brand.
Developed in VR and clay, this is (I believe) the first publicly show motorcycle that was developed using the new ultra efficient process pioneered by Claymoto.
The process uses VR modelling in Gravity Sketch to lay out the design to a “90%” point, and then the design surfaces are milled out in clay and refined in a more traditional clay method to achieve the final 10%. In the clay we realised the integrated side crash bungs had too many issues in aesthetic and functionality, so reverted to a standard tubular steel design… which we did in VR naturally.
All of the VR modelling work was achieved remotely, with the designer in Austria and me the modeller in Germany.
See the video in the gallery to get a much better insight than I can write here as to the process. This represents a step change in terms of delivering both elevated design quality and project efficiency.
