What’s the difference between a street bike and a race bike? Not as much as you might think. In order to meet the minimum requirements to be allowed onto the track, the primary changes that need to be made to a street bike are as follows:

• Fitment of bodywork with a removable belly pan: Used to capture liquids in the event of an
  engine malfunction.
• Safety wiring: The wiring of specific areas on the bike with emphasis on all bolts/caps that contain fluid directly behind them as well as the braking system and exhaust muffler(s).
• Removal of street parts: Kickstand, lights, horn, turn signals and mirrors.

Some of the common modifications allowed are:

• Suspension: Aftermarket fork internals and shock
• Upgraded exhaust and air/fuel management systems
• Quick-shifters
• Ergonomics: Clip-ons and rear sets
• Traction control systems
• Racing slicks and rain tires

The 2024 CRA Rulebook defines what is required and legal to race with the CRA.
