Hesketh reveals Valiant Supercharged
It’s that 2,100cc supercharged V-twin you've been looking for
THIS is the latest hand-built bike from revived British marque Hesketh – the Valiant Supercharged.
Currently it only exists as a concept but Hesketh intends to put it into production so it’s on sale next year, for a mere £50,000.
That serious amount of wedge gets you a 2,100cc S&S X-Wedge V-Twin engine mated to a Rotrex supercharger, with tuning handled by supercharger specialists TTS Performance. Power stands at quoted 210hp.
The engine is housed in a polished double-cradle chomoly steel frame and the box-section swing arm carries the oil.
Elsewhere, the spec sheet reads like you hope it to, with Öhlins and K-Tech suspension at the front and K-Tech Razor shocks at the back.
At the front, there’s a pair of six-piston billet calipers made by British company Pretech and a Smiths speedo.
The bike is finished to a sublime standard, with everything made from billet alloy including the pegs, wheels, yokes and rocker covers.
