The Confederate X132 Hellcat Speedster is the latest motorcycle to come from the American company, a design and engineering evolution of the brilliant X132 Hellcat, which was released in 2012. It is also the first Confederate motorcycle penned by Pierre Terblanche, the acclaimed former Ducati Design Director who now heads styling at Confederate.

Constructed using carbon-fibre and aircraft-grade billet aluminium, the Speedster is your typical Confederate with its industrial design and almost hotrod-ish persona. It is propelled by a 2,163cc fuel-injected V-Twin engine that belts out a strong 121hp and 190Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed drag racing transmission. The 18″ Metzeler ME880 Marathon tyres are sized 120/70 at the front and 240/40 at the back, aided by a custom WP 48mm fork and custom centre-mounted RaceTech coilover shock respectively. Stopping is via dual and single Beringer radial callipers front and back, along with floating ductile iron rotors at the front and cross-drilled Brembo stainless steel rotors at the rear. Other goodies include an LED headlight and taillight, analogue Motogadget tachometer, digital speedo and readouts, solo leather seat, and more.

Confederate plans to make only 65 of the 227kg X132 Hellcat Speedster, and has started accepting reservations with a USD 10,000 deposit for the USD 65,000 motorcycle. Get yours here.
