⏪ How did we get here? Part 5: PulsaR

Today we see the first prototype to compete in the World Human Powered Speed Challenge.

PuslaR was a very important step for the Team. With this new prototype, Policumbent made its official debut in international competitions, breaking two consecutive Italian records in just two years.

Although highly satisfied with the first record achieved in 2015, the Team knew there was room for improvement. Driven by this awareness, they decided to return to the competition the following year with the same vehicle, implementing significant technical upgrades.
