ISLE of Man TT legend John McGuinness will be riding a new electric motorcycle in this year’s Isle of Man TT. The bike, which will compete in the Zero Challenge class, is set to head Team Mugen’s campaign in the iconic race series.
Called Shinden San, the bike is the latest evolution of M-TEC’s TT Zero project, which was originally built in-house as a means of developing M-TEC’s engineers in the emerging technologies in motor racing. The bike competed for the first time at the Isle of Man TT in 2012, and has since clinched two consecutive second-place finishes for Team Mugen. With Shinden San, it is gunning for a victory this year.
