Confederate X132 Hellcat



The new C3 X132 Hellcat naked machine is powered by a 52-degree V-twin engine displacing 2163cc, capable of developing 197Nm of torque (145lbs-ft), while the horsepower figures are listed as “sufficient". The win cylinder Copperhead engine has been custom made by S&S Cycle and features a one-piece forged crank. The unit is paired to a five-speed transmission made in-house by Confederate.




“To deploy such massive low RPM torque, we fuse our patented powertrain system to the new motor. This proven drag racing-derived system is designed, specified, and built to maintain perfect crankshaft to output shaft alignment, irrespective of the suddenness or the volume of torque application,” the company tells us.



Brembo brakes, Race-Tech suspension, carbon fiber wheels, integrated high density discharge headlamp, LED tail lamp, brake, running lights and blinker system are also among the features of the new naked Confederate. The bike tips the scales at a claimed kerb weight of 215 kg (474 lbs) and has a 18-liter (4.75-gallon) fuel tank.
