Sarolea confirm TT Zero entry
Saroléa are delighted to announce that, once again, they will be at this year’s Isle of Man TT races fuelled by Monster Energy contesting the SES TT Zero Race with their exotic SP7 carbon race bike.
This will be the fourth time that Saroléa have taken part in races and the team aims to build on their previous experience and produce their best result to date, which was the fourth place in the 2014 race, missing out on a podium by only a fraction of a second. In the 2015 race the team posted their first 100mph lap with a time of 106.510 mph. (21:15.256), which saw them finish fifth.
Since last year’s TT, the SP7 has evolved considerably and a great deal of innovation has taken place. Much work has been done on the dyno bench and the bike has been subjected to a rigorous testing programme – on and off track. This year’s preparation has been more intensive than ever before and Saroléa will be going to the TT meeting confident that the work they have been carried out will reap dividends.
As last year, Yorkshireman Dean Harrison will be at the controls of the SP7 around the iconic TT Mountain course. Dean is an experienced road-racer and has put in many laps of the famous TT course. His circuit knowledge will be a vital element as the team chase their first IOM podium.

“This is my fifth year at the TT and the second time I will be riding the Saroléa SP7. I love the TT and for me, it’s the main event of my season. Every year, I learn more about the course and I think I will still be learning until the time I stop.”
He continued:
“Since last year, the team have made significant improvements to the SP7 and so I am excited to find out what they have done. The SP7 bike is heavier than a conventional bike, so it’s going to be physically more demanding, but I am in good shape and I ready for this challenge. My aim for this year is a podium and I cannot see any reason why that may not be possible.”
