Like its successful predecessor, the Confederate G2 P51 Combat Fighter is inspired by the 1960’s rebel, anti-hero and the stripped, raw, chopper he rode. This second-generation Combat Fighter rides on Confederate’s brand new CX4 architecture, a lighter, tougher evolution of their patented, drag racing-derived powertrain and powertrain mounting system.

This exercise in muscle bike purity is built entirely of 6061 aerospace billet aluminium, right down to the unitized engine block and heads. Overbuilt machined fuselage plates located by machined bulkheads form a proprietary monocoque that is the stiffest, most fatigue-resistant and lightest chassis capable of housing the greatest amount of torque as a percentage of weight ever achieved in all of motordom. No expense was spared in the design and creative process, adhering to Confederate’s mandate of only developing the best and finest achievable.

Confederate leveraged the talents of original P51 head designer Jon Kasse, who facilitated the second generation model’s all new head design and induction system. The result is the achievement of a goal that the company has sought since its inception: 200 big-block, air-cooled, push-rod, V-twin horsepower.

The new bike’s chassis incorporates a structural intake box that ties directly into a CNC billet aluminium structural downdraft intake manifold, an industry first. The fuel tank is structural; huge billet blocks are machined and masterfully welded to create the bridge that connects the induction system to the massive swing arm pivot machined into the unitized billet engine cases. Each front suspension girder and the rear swing arm are hewn from huge blocks of solid, as well, via five axis machining technology, to optimize structural integrity and fatigue resistance while minimizing un-sprung weight.

A total of 61 Confederate G2 P51 Combat Fighter Special Editions are scheduled to be crafted: 31 will be designated blonde and presented as raw machined billet; 30 will be designated black and presented as raw machined billet anodized black. Priced at USD 113,900 for the blonde and USD 119,500 for the black.
