BMW turned to the famous German motorcycle customizer Fred Codlin to create a unique project based on the BMW R 18 B Heavy Duty.

For over 40 years he has dedicated himself to customizing motorcycles. Since the 1990s he has had incredible success with his custom bikes and has regularly won various important shows. He was the first member of the Sturgis Hall of Famer who was not born in the United States. On a new project, Codlin worked with his son.

Fred Codlin stated that they had to completely redesign the frame to lower the ride height of the R 18 B. They also completely redesigned the steering column to make it work despite the changed steering angle.

The technical highlight of the chassis is the front and rear air suspension system, supported by a compressor barely visible behind the left side shroud. This allows you to lower and raise the R 18 B HEAVY DUTY in a fraction of a second. To park, just lower the suspension to lean the bike on hidden anchor points. This allows the bike to lock into place just a few inches above the ground.

Codlin and his team spent three months working only on the sheet metal, creating a new gas tank and a new mudguard around the 21-inch front wheel, and a tri-color lighting system installed in the front spoiler.

In the meantime, the painting was done by Marcel Sinnwell. More tattooist than painter, he only takes the airbrush for special projects.

Babyark smart child car seat unveiled with military grade technology and

Introduced a child car seat that was created by Frank Stephenson Design in collaboration with Babyark, an innovative baby safety technology company. Its design is inspired by the egg.

Babyark smart child car seat unveiled with military-grade technology and multiple sensors

The child seat is constructed with a carbon fiber frame and military-grade energy-absorbing technology that sets it apart from virtually all other child seats on the market. It also includes the SafeCoil steel-based cushioning system that gently slows the seat forward during an accident. An advanced side impact protection system has also been implemented.

Another addition to the safety of the child seat is a set of 14 sensors in the base that constantly monitor a wide range of parameters, such as whether the seat is correctly installed, and can also tell the owner if the child is properly secured. Accelerometers and gyroscopes can also register the force of any collision and notify users when the seat can be reused.

After working in the automotive industry, I always wanted to go beyond the simple design of car shapes. Safety standards and design in the industry have changed significantly, and yet we easily neglect the technology needed to keep children safe. Babyark’s breakthrough business approach and its open design, inspired by the protective forms of nature around us, aims to embrace passengers and provide safety and luxury for users.
