Description
The power plant for this machine is a Predator ghost motor paired with a torque converter. The Predator engine line is known for its robust and reliable performance, often favored in custom builds for its power output and ease of modification. The integration of a torque converter optimizes power delivery, providing smooth acceleration and efficient transfer of power to the drive system, which is crucial for a vehicle designed for performance and potentially heavy loads. An exposed air filter is incorporated, which typically allows for increased airflow to the engine, potentially enhancing horsepower and throttle response. This design choice often indicates a focus on performance and can also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the engine bay.
For braking,
the system utilizes rear billet MCP brakes. Billet components are machined from a solid block of material, resulting in exceptional strength and precision. MCP (Master Cylinder Products) brakes are recognized in the custom and racing communities for their high performance and reliability. Complementing this, a Wilwood handlebar master cylinder is employed. Wilwood is a leading manufacturer of high-performance braking systems, and their master cylinders are known for their consistent pressure delivery and precise feel, offering the rider superior control over braking. The control input is managed by a twist throttle, a standard and intuitive mechanism for controlling engine speed, providing a direct and responsive connection between the rider and the motor.
The product boasts a substantial 450 lbs weight capacity, indicating a robust design capable of handling significant loads or a heavy rider without compromising structural integrity or performance. This capacity is a testament to the strength of the DOM steel frame and the overall engineering of the build. To enhance stability and prevent unwanted wheelies during aggressive acceleration, wheelie bars are integrated into the design. These bars provide a contact point with the ground, limiting the upward rotation of the front end and ensuring more controlled launches and safer operation, especially in high-performance applications.
Finally, the entire frame and associated components are powder-coated in-house. Powder coating offers a durable, chip-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing finish that protects the metal from corrosion and wear. Performing this process in-house allows for complete control over the quality of the finish, ensuring a consistent and high-quality appearance. The overarching philosophy behind this product is a commitment to excellence, as stated: “We take the utmost pride in every build we complete. From the cutting, bending, welding, powdercoat, and assembly we strive to build you a product that will hold up to whatever thrashing you throw at it.” This statement emphasizes the dedication to craftsmanship, durability, and customer satisfaction throughout every stage of production
