The Light Cycle: The motor of Tron - Tron after the first film and some video games is back in the limelight last year with the new movie it inspired, Tron Legacy. This show that there is a replica of the motorcycle used by the players in the digital world in which the film is set. And 'designed for use "casual", slow movements over short distances primarily for demonstration and sit still on display.
It 'consists of a steel frame covered with a fiberglass cowling that reproduces the elegant look of its counterpart for the computer-generated films. Obviously they could not miss the electroluminescent strips integrated in the roof of the front tires, wheels and body in order to give the classic light to medium. And 'powered by a gasoline engine Suzuki 4-stroke 996cc injection.
The driving position is like that of the film, so nearly horizontal, astride the seat, upholstered in leather, with his feet on the footrests that allow you to change gearbox with 6 speeds and hands on the handlebars to use throttle and brake (as all bikes!).
The hubless wheels, tires of a truck initially have been customized so that you can put in two counter-rotating circles circles, where one turns in each other, giving the effect auentico seen in the film. The bike is 2 feet long, 60 cm wide and 70 high, is made as described with great care and all the fans remain open-mouthed in front of trovandosela. Too bad for performance, many would dart at breakneck speed with this, but many more would if it were able to leave behind the walls bright as in the film.
