Shepherd Velox New Chassis Plate 2009

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 | 746 views

Shepherd Team once again come up with another product, as they always do to be on par if not above the rest of the competition out there. Here Shepherd Velox new chassis for 2009.

We are happy to announce that the new chassis plate ‘09 for the Velox has been released. It features a cutout in the front in which an additional 30g weight can be mounted as well as 4 holes on the sides for another 70g of additional weight. By mounting up to 100g on the very bottom of the chassis the center of gravity is much lower and the performance will be improved.

Shepherd Team highly recommended to always use the 30g front weight with the new chassis plate as it increases the stability of the chassis.
