Hellcat, the most affordable motorcycle in Confederate’s portfolio, enters 2012 as a new model with different nomenclature, reduced complexity and increased performance. Underpinning the Hellcat’s upgrades is a new V-Twin engine of unit construction, with cases milled from billet aluminum.
The X132 is the third generation of the Hellcat model from boutique manufacturer, Confederate Motorcycles. According to Confederate founder and CEO, Matt Chambers, it’s the most significant Hellcat to date.
“This is our 911 moment,” Chambers says referring to Porsche’s iconic and eternal 911 sports car. “We have achieved with the X132 Hellcat a foundation that isn’t simply this year’s girl.”
Chambers’ statement implies that from the Hellcat’s new powerplant an assortment of models can be produced which gives the engine design a lengthy shelf life. Sharing this common format also creates a familial line of models, instead of one-off designs with no recognizable indication of Confederate heritage.
“You may want strawberry or vanilla, and we’ll give you strawberry or vanilla, but it’s all still ice-cream,” says Chambers.
Proof of this new concept is found in the three iterations of the 2012 Hellcat; the current Speedster and forthcoming Roadster and GT models. Chambers likens the Hellcat Speedster to Ducati’s Monster whereas the Roadster will be more akin to the Diavel. Footpeg placement will be relocated from its current position beneath the swingarm pivot to below the output shaft. The wheelbase will be longer and the chassis closer to the ground. Rake is relaxed from 23.5 degrees on the Speedster to 30 degrees on the Roadster
