KYO34935T1

The Kyosho Hang On Racer Suzuki RGV1992 Electric 1/8 Motorcycle Kit is a masterful blend of scale realism and thrilling R/C performance. First released in 1992, this long-running favorite has earned its popularity by delivering a truly unique and immersive experience—both as a build and as a rider-controlled machine. The model features Kyosho’s innovative Semi-Direct Steering System (S.D.S.S), enabling dynamic cornering that mimics a full-scale motorcycle, complete with a fully articulated rider figure. With its iconic scale appearance, faithful reproduction of the 1992 S.R.T. Suzuki RGV race bike, and performance-oriented design, this kit is perfect for both collectors and hobbyists.

True-to-Life Cornering with Semi-Direct Steering System (S.D.S.S.)

At the heart of the Hang On Racer’s performance is the S.D.S.S., a unique steering mechanism that enables the model to lean deeply into corners, just like a real motorcycle. This design integrates the rider figure into the steering response, creating a natural hang-on effect that enhances both control and visual realism. The articulated rider, featuring 13 points of motion, moves with the bike for a seamless and lifelike riding experience that beginners and veterans alike will appreciate.

Faithful Scale Detail and Race Heritage

From the brake calipers to the asymmetrical swingarm, the Hang On Racer replicates the legendary S.R.T. Suzuki RGV-? that competed in the 1991 and 1992 racing seasons. Two sets of racing number decals (No.55 & No.5) let you represent the bike in either of its championship liveries. The combination of chain drive, mono-shock rear suspension, inverted front fork, and twin-tube frame not only enhances mechanical function but also showcases stunning display-level accuracy that makes this a model worthy of any shelf or starting line.

Easy Assembly and Upgraded Components

Despite its intricate detail and engineering, the kit features a simplified build process with minimal parts, making it beginner-friendly while still rewarding to construct. Key upgrades like a durable metal pinion gear and Le Mans DM20 motor offer improved durability and smooth power delivery. With thoughtful additions such as fall-prevention guards and a central battery location, Kyosho ensures that this bike is not just beautiful, but also practical for real-world R/C use.
