#New Berlin, NY# - Christini Technologies is very pleased with the results from the Moose Racing Unadilla GNCC this past weekend, winning the Industry Class and taking 3rd in the 4 stroke A (0-300) class.

The weather conditions on Sunday were grueling. Days of hard rain left the course extremely challenging, littered with deep mud holes, ruts, and slick hills. Perfect conditions to showcase the unique abilities of the Christini All Wheel Drive System.

Dirt Rider Magazine's Derek Steahly pulled off a win in the Industry class aboard a Honda CRF250R fitted with the Christini All Wheel Drive System (12th overall out of nearly 500 riders in the morning race). "It was almost like cheating in the mud at Unadilla, there were riders stuck all over the place and I just blasted past with no problems. The difference is like going mud bogging in a family wagon versus a purpose built 4x4. All-wheel-drive is the way to go off road and Christini's got it covered!" said Steahly. As a testament to the reliability of the system, Vet A rider Jamie Wright rode the 3 hour main event on the very same Honda CRF250R that Derek Steahly competed on in the morning, leaving only a few minutes to refuel and wipe off the grips and seat. "That was the toughest forty miles I have ever ridden." Said Wright. "My tongue would have been dragging in the spokes without the system". ISDE medallist Ben Smith took a third place in the 4 stroke A (0-300) class. "It's great, you can let the bike do a lot of the work in the extreme conditions out there," Smith said of the Christini equipped Honda CRF250X.

"We came to New York with five Christini machines to further test the durability of our system and we couldn't be happier with the results" said Steven Christini, President and founder of Christini Technologies. "We spent the last three days testing and running rider demos leading up to this event. Even with the sloppy conditions Sunday, we didn't experience any mechanical failures, and the feedback we received from the demos was overwhelmingly positive."

Christini is a pioneer in the development of AWD motorcycle technology. The Christini AWD is an entirely mechanical system that acts similar to the positraction on a car. Only when the rear wheel loses traction does the front wheel engage. The AWD drive feature can be activated with the simple flip of a switch. The system adds just 15 lbs to the machine and power loss has been recorded at less than .05 percent. Christini Technologies is currently accepting deposits on complete frame kits to convert your stock Honda CRF 250X and CRF250R to all wheel drive. Kits will be available this fall. Honda CRF 450X frame kits are expected to be available early 2007. Development for other brands has begun but a release date has not been set.
