The Barracuda R - Race Ready!

After 12 years of success with the Mk I and Mk II Barracudas it’s time to step up to a full racing specification. The Barracuda R brings the best of the Barracuda design to the top-level racing stage with a fully race-compliant tubular chassis.

The Barracuda R chassis has been designed to comply with CAMS Prolite and AASA Class 1 & Class 10 regulations. With a 200hp+ motorcycle engine and a 550kg race weight the Barracuda R has a power-to-weight ratio that most car-engined buggies can only dream of.

But the Barracuda R does more than just tick a scrutineering box. There’s more driver room to accommodate the extra cockpit fitout in a racing vehicle, and electric power steering is included as standard. Front suspension travel is increased and larger 2.5” coilover shock absorbers can be fitted. All four wheels are fitted with 4-piston Wilwood calipers grabbing 312mm floating brake rotors powered by a Wilwood racing bias pedal box to give outstanding braking performance over any terrain.

The CV2 rear suspension has been proven as a bomb-proof drive unit in harsh racing conditions and includes track rods to ride out the biggest impacts racing can throw at it. The upgraded 55 liter (14.5 gallon) fuel tank lets the Barracuda R cover long-course off road races and features a racing filler cap to allow quick refuelling. Finally, 30” 4WD-spec tyres ensure maximum traction over the roughest terrain and give the Barracuda R the long legs needed to compete over high speed cross-country racing tracks.

Over the years Edge Products have produced a number of race-compliant vehicles, and it’s about time Edge customers were able to take advantage of our racing vehicle experience with a weapon that can compete at the highest level of off road motorsport.
