Performance Bikes — March 2018

Rutter’s eye view is of

a stock ER-6 display

Twin Öhlins shocks and

TT-frazzled Metzelers

Yes, the racer has both

rear and front lights

CHASSIS

Steel trellis is fabricated

in-house and uses

modern geometry. It’s

connected to an alloy

box-section swingarm

made to Paton’s design

by Febur.

CONTROLS
Paton makes use of the Italian
aftermarket with Valter Moto
providing the handlebars and
rearsets (with titanium heel plates).
Fuel tank is bespoke to Paton
and made from aluminium.

ENGINE

Built by the team, with around 95bhp,

the pistons and cams are Paton’s

design and they’ve undertaken their

own head work. Fuelling is tweaked

via a Dynojet Power Commander.

Although there is a Suter sticker on

the bellypan, a slipper clutch has

been tested, but not raced yet.

Unsilenced exhaust is for TT only.
