Meet The X2 - Edge Products' First Dual Seat Buggy

The Edge Products X2 Twin Seater Buggy - Front Angle View

Race bred evolution...

The X2, based on the race bred Edge Barracuda has evolved into a two seat buggy.

25 Years & Counting...

More than 25 years of Mini buggy design, development & thousands of buggies manufactured has resulted in the X2, a chunky & aggressive long travel buggy that you can build yourself and enjoy with your friends and family.

The best gets better...

The X2 has all the great design features of the Barracuda suspension & driveline but with a larger tougher chassis designed for two people. It retains the Barracuda’s upraked nose, the streamlined rollcage & the Edge quickturn rack & pinion steering. The Double A arm front suspension design has been refined, but still features rod end camber & caster adjustment and super long travel at 500mm (20”).

More room for people and power...

More internal room for the driver & passenger, as well as a longer engine bay to fit larger engines has resulted in a slightly longer buggy which handles even better at high speeds. The X2 can be constructed as either a Left-Hand Drive or Right-Hand Drive vehicle with ease - the steering and pedal mounts are simply mirrored to the opposite side.

Easy & Comprehensive Plans

The X2 plans is a comprehensive 230 pages with detailed drawings, produced from our latest CAD models for ultimate accuracy and clarity - including lots of 3D images. They can be purchased in a printed book or in digital form ready for immediate download (and at a discounted price).

These detail every chassis & suspension part that needs to be made along with parts lists, nuts & bolts lists & material lists. Laid out in 3D views with 2D dimensioned detailed drawings the X2 plans detail the complete chassis, front & rear suspension, brakes, pedals, all brackets, fuel tank, floor pan, roof plate, nose plate, bonnet, bulkhead plate, engine bash plate, complete steering including rack mount & steering column & gearshift setup. In fact, every single part that needs to be made.

The X2 plans explain the chassis construction in a "step by step" format starting with the base frame & building the chassis from the ground up to make construction easier for the home builder. Suspension arms & components are broken down into their individual parts for ease of manufacture.

What does it cost to build?

Buying the raw materials, fabricating and welding the X2 parts yourself to the plans will cost approximately $9,500 to $17,000 Australian dollars minus motor depending on how much of the componentry you produce yourself.

Suitable Engine Types

Any large capacity engine can be used as long as it is of a chain drive design, (chain drive from engine to rear wheel).
Hayabusa motorcycle engine      Kawasaki ZX14R motorcycle engine
Engines from 1000cc right up to the latest Kawasaki ZX14R can be used depending on the level of performance required.

Vee twin engines such as the Suzuki TL1000, Honda VTR1000 and Aprilia RSV1000 are very suited to sand dune type driving as they offer lots of low rpm torque.

Big capacity muscle bikes such as the Suzuki GSX1300 Hayabusa & Kawasaki’s ZX14R are great engines for raw horsepower that give good torque, power, speed & acceleration.

Two Seats - All Race

After 12 years of success with the Barracuda and X2 in and out of racing, it’s time to step our 2-seater up to a full racing specification. The X2R brings the best of the Barracuda design and X2 layout to the top-level racing stage with a fully race-compliant tubular chassis.

The X2R chassis has been designed to comply with CAMS Prolite and Super 1650 regulations (AASA Class 1 & Class 10). With a 200hp+ motorcycle engine and a 630kg race weight the X2R has a power-to-weight ratio that most car-engined buggies can only dream of.

But the X2R does more than just tick a scrutineering box. There’s more driver room to accommodate the extra cockpit fitout in a racing vehicle, including a Wilwood brake pedal box (and electric power steering as standard). Front suspension travel is increased and larger 2.5” coilover shock absorbers can be mounted.

All four wheels are fitted with 4-piston Wilwood calipers grabbing 312mm floating brake rotors to give outstanding braking performance over any terrain. A bigger engine bay gives builders the flexibility needed for upgraded racing motors and the accessories that come with them. That extra horsepower is easily handled by the CV2 rear suspension drivetrain: proven as a bomb-proof drive unit in harsh racing conditions and including track rods to ride out the biggest impacts racing can throw at it. The upgraded full-width 65 liter (17 gallon) fuel tank lets the X2R 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 X2R 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.
