Starting from a clean sheet, Runflat CBR’s design team created a wish-list which included more than 30 design challenges to improve runflat performance.
Here are just a few of them:
- Deliver world beating runflat performance with all-tyres-down on the single piece wheel
- Distance and speed capabilities to exceed Finabel A.20A (Extended 150km), on just one set of tyres/runflats and with all tyres deflated
- Provide evasive/tactical drivability with all tyres deflated
- Make the single piece wheel compatible with low pressure operation and Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) systems
- Develop and incorporate a new ‘active beadlock’ invention
- Provide adjustability to ensure strong beadlock with all tyre manufacturer’s bead widths
- Build in resilience and flexibility to absorb shock, impingement and kerb strikes
- Develop a lightweight anti-friction concept for longer runflat distances
- Dispense with the necessity of grease/lubricants inside the tyre for longer runflat
- Ensure the inside of the tyre is protected when running inflated or deflated
