 "Immediately
after fitting Arrow Precision con rods to our 2004 Kawasaki
ZX-10Rs both Hawk riders, Scott Smart and Glen Richards,
commented on how much easier the bikes turned, due to
less gyroscopic weight from the crank. Not only that,
the use of Arrow Precision con rods in our racing engines
has also allowed us to safely increase our rev limit
by 1000rpm. Having raced since the 1960s I've seen and
used many makes of titanium con rods, but as Team Principal
of leading British Superbike team Hawk Kawasaki I'm
delighted to have found and now work alongside a world-leading
con rod supplier like Arrow Precision who take winning
as seriously as us."

"As chief engine builder for Hawk Kawasaki
I have found Arrow Precision con rods to be of the highest
quality we expect. Every rod weighs exactly the same
and is manufactured to the same exacting standards,
which is critical for any race component. I have also
found Arrow Precision's stud and nut retainer design
on the big-end eye to be 100 per cent superior to conventional
bolt retainers because after 3000 racing miles there
is no measurable stretch in either the stud or rod.
At Hawk we demand the highest standards of reliability
and performance - Arrow Precision rods give us both."

 ‘When
Jeremy Oats, proprietor of Classic Car Storage Ltd decided
to race his 1929 2 litre Langonda, engine builder John
Batt recommended few modifications from original but insisted
on fitting Arrow’s connecting rods incorporating
shell bearings.
The thought of a 74 year old con rod failing was too big
a risk on such a rare machine and the rods have now successfully
completed their second full racing season.
The 2 litre Langonda team came second in 2004 in the Aston
Martin, Bentley and Lagonda Pre-War Sportscar race series’.
