It looks purist and strong, the “Hellcat” from Confederate Motorcycles, a small high-end manufacturer from Birmingham/Alabama. The Confederate X132 Hellcat is the latest product from a historic series of luxury motorcycles from the American motorcycle manufacturer. The name comes from a legendary fighter aircraft with an equally uncompromising design.
The heart of the Hellcat is an aluminum crankcase. It is machined from two blocks of aircraft-grade aluminum. As a feast for the eyes, a transparent cover was made for the camshaft drive. The Hellcat X132 is powered by a square-stroke, 56-degree S&S V-twin engine with a displacement of 2 cm³ and 2.150 kW (97 hp). With its 132 Nm of torque, the drive train of the 203-kilogram luxury bike made of carbon fiber and metal is loaded.
Confederate Hellcat X132 - The Hellcat
This design, made from the most expensive choice of materials and manufacturing, guarantees maximum strength and durability. Every component of the Hellcat, from the carbon fiber wheels to the smallest stainless steel screws, is of the highest quality. You will look in vain for plastic on this motorcycle. Basically, everything that could prevent you from riding a motorcycle was dispensed with.
Every Confederate motorcycle is handcrafted and designed to last for generations. The company's founder and CEO, Matthew Chambers, described the new Hellcat: “This is the motorcycle we wanted to create when I founded the company 21 years ago. I have every confidence that we have built exactly what we have always dreamed of.”
Feather-light carbon wheels, an upside-down fork from Marzochi and a TIG-welded, highly stable frame complete the overall work of art. Only two of the luxury bikes are produced per week. 40 machines have already been sold. You have to be prepared for waiting times.
If you want to buy a Hellcat X132 from Confederate Motorcycles, you have to travel directly to Birmingham in the American state of Alabama. He can then take his bike there for $49.500. Before doing this, however, you should speak to the German TÜV to see if they give their blessing for the extravagant custom bike.
