TORQUE MONSTER

 

Meet The New Torque Monster From America

The Combat Wraith belts out an astounding 195Nm:

  • Gets a 2,163cc V-Twin engine.

  • Features see-through components, including a fuel tank and airbox.

  • First bike in the market to feature two sets of foot controls for different riding styles.





Motorcycling has always been about testing the limits of man and the machine itself. Manufacturers have been pushing the envelope with the use of forced induction, lighter components, and sophisticated electronics. Heck, now motorcycles have wings to keep them from taking off. But as the popular saying goes, ‘There is no replacement for engine displacement’. While the Triumph Rocket 3 holds the title for having the biggest and the torquiest engine seen on a production motorcycle, a new motorcycle comes pretty close to the Brit bruiser. And unlike the Rocket, this one doesn’t come with a whole lot of electronic nannies.

Boasting an S&S cycles-sourced 2,163cc V-twin engine belting out 110.5PS and an astounding 195Nm of peak torque at as low as 4,800rpm, the Combat Wraith means business. This monster of an engine is contained in an aluminium monocoque constructed using military-grade aluminium. In fact, the structure also doubles up as a fuel tank with a capacity of 17 litres.


Combat Motors takes pride in building motorcycles that will leave even the purists awestruck, hence, the Wraith sports some unique touches. The airbox, fuel tank, throttle body, and cam timing cover are transparent, so owners and fortunate spectators have a lot to ogle at.

The list of unique things doesn’t end here. The Combat Wraith is one of the rare motorcycles in the market today that sport a girder double-wishbone front suspension and an offset cantilever monoshock. UK-based bespoke brake specialist Beringer develops the brake setup for this beast. The Wraith runs a BST-sourced 19-inch wheel at the front and a 17-inch disc wheel at the rear, paired with Pirelli tyres.

    Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing

    Image
      Grand Prix motorcycle racing   is the premier class of motorcycle  road racing   events held on  road circuits   sanctioned by the   Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme   (FIM). Independent  motorcycle   racing events have been held since the start of the twentieth century   and large national events were often given the title Grand Prix.   The foundation of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme as the international governing body for motorcycle sport in 1949 provided the opportunity to coordinate rules and regulations in order that selected events could count towards official World Championships. It is the oldest established motorsport  world championship.                               Grand Prix motorcycles are purpose-built racing machines that are unavailable for purchase by the general public and unable to be ridden legally on public roads. This contrasts with the various production-based categories of racing, such as the Superbike World Championship and the  I sle

     HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE Development started as early as the 17th century with the invention of the first  steam-powered  vehicle,   which led to the creation of the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation, built by  Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot  in 1769.  Inventors began to branch out at the start of the 19th century, creating the  de Rivas engine , one of the first  internal combustion engines ,  and an early  electric motor .   Samuel Brown  later tested the first industrially applied internal combustion engine in 1826.                                      Development was hindered in the mid-19th century by a backlash against large vehicles, yet progress continued on some internal combustion engines. The engine evolved as engineers created  two-  and  four-cycle  combustion engines and began using  gasoline  as fuel. Production vehicles began appearing in 1887, when Karl Benz developed a petrol or gasoline-powered automobile and made several identical copies.   Recent
