The bike is powered by a 2,163 cc V-Twin developed together with S&S and producing 132 hp and 203 Nm 150 (lb/ft) of torque, with the machined aluminum engine case obtained from two blocks of 6061 billet aluminum. The model also uses a 5-speed close-ratio transmission, 50 mm Marzocchi forks, Race-Tech rear shock, Beringer calipers on the front, Brembo calipers on the rear and Pirelli Supercorsa performance tyres.
Other remarkable features include a minimal instrument cluster - courtesy of Motogadget - LED lights and an extensive use of carbon fibre, which allows the bike to weight just 226 kg. As usual, Confederate Motorcycles paid a lot of attention to every little detail (i.e. the short saddle with no tail, the muffler in the belly, the exposed labyrinthian chamber for the belt and so forth), and this bike really is a beautiful masterpiece. Only 164 Confederate X132 Hellcats will be produced, with the manufacturer planning to make only two units per week. The Alabama-based company is currently taking orders with a price tag of 45,000$, but that price will go up to 49,500$ in March 2012.
no thanks. attention to detail?!?! like getting a paltry 132bhp from 2.2l?!?!?! waaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha the torque figure is impressive though. should be for the motor size so no noddy badge for them.
and this? and an extensive use of carbon fibre, which allows the bike to weight just 226 kg.
What is it with Americans? A 2163cc bike, and it produces 132bhp? I have a 600cc that produces 101 that is 10 years old. How can an engine that big ONLY produce 132 bhp?
