The casting replaces an assembly of more than 20 parts and serves as the main structural frame component for the Polaris Victory Core concept motorcycle. The design incorporates the gas tank, air inlet, air intake box, electrical routing, and seat and motor mounts. The casting design reduced weight by 30%. Additionally, the tooling investment required for the nobake casting process was significantly lower than the costs of multiple stamping, forming and bending dies, as well as welding fixtures. Structurally, the cast frame is more rigid and precise in shape and form than the fabricated steel frame and offers reduced dimensional variation.
