CCM have launched their new Spitfire motorcycle at
the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle show after a period of strong growth in
2016. This hand-built bike will be competitively priced at £ 7995, will
be exclusively limited to 150 machines.
The Spitfire uses a 600 cc single cylinder
four-stroke motor, which pushes out 55 Bhp and 58 Nm of torque, sitting in a
hand-welded frame that’s made from T45 high-strength British steel. Not
coincidentally to the name of the bike, it’s the same steel that was used to
build the fuselages of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter plane. The welds on the
frame retain their blueing from assembly, which makes each one unique.
The brakes are from Brembo and feature a single 320
disc on the front tyre and a 240 disc on the rear. The front suspension is from
WP and a single Tractive shock at the rear, both being fully adjustable. Wheels
are 19-inch and spoked featuring flat track tyres. The Spitfire also only
weighs a miniscule 121 kg (dry).
The bike is a product of passion from the guys at
CCM. Born of an idea that started as a hobby that developed into a business
case. The Spitfire will be rolling off the production line
sometime in the late spring and should arrive sometime in May.
