C3 PowerSports Carbon Fiber XP Chassis As Seen In Sleedbook
The design for the first all carbon fiber chassis for Ski-Doo had four objectives; to improve performance, strength and reliability while significantly reducing overall weight.
By creating a one-piece monocoque chassis made entirely out carbon fiber, C3 was able to achieve its design objectives and successfully reduced the weight of the lightest factory chassis by over 30lbs.
C3 took their design one step further by adding an Integrated Fuel Cell (IFC) to their innovative one-piece chassis. The IFC system further adds strength and rigidity as well as additional fuel capacity while reducing weight.
The IFC uses an internal partitioned baffle system which moves fuel through three separate compartments and holds the fuel at the front of the tank for consistent delivery and mass centralization. This eliminates the “sloshing” effect found in conventional fuel tanks.
Reducing weight and adding strength, resulted in creating an improved center of gravity, the IFC chassis allows for better overall handling and reduces rider fatigue on long rides.
C3 PowerSports carbon fiber chassis accepts all stock components and requires no further fabricating. It is available in all stock lengths up to or beyond 174” and can handle 3” lugs on a 16” wide track. Further weight reduction of 50lbs+ can be obtained by using C3 suspension kits and body panels.
