The title alone sums up the spirit of Mammut. What shocks, intrigues, subjugates, is its engine. No, even worse: the idea of having taken a turbo car engine to propel a motorcycle. Hayabusa and ZX-12R fan, you will cry. a turbocharged 4-cylinder 2-liter engine displaying the trifle of 260 horses. Crazy! And with more than 30 mkg of torque in the boiler, the 200mm rear tire is in agony at the slightest nervousness of the Opel-Cosworth block. If only the excess stopped there…
But you are not at the end of your surprises: the grinding wheel weighs no less than 354 kg, and dry! Imagine the work of the inverted fork Öhlins when you have to guide such a monster. And to stop it? Large discs pinched by 8 piston calipers. Well, OK, there, the engineers, they badly blew a hose.
To follow the evolution of their creature as closely as possible, they have equipped it with an electronic management system (clamping the grinding wheel at 250 km / h) which can send engine data directly to the manufacturer by connecting to the Internet..
Faced with such figures, a criticism of design is almost anecdotal. Yet it is clear that a brave designer leaned over the cradle of the machine, with gestures say… "personal". Great billhooking for the dressing, nasty face, absolutely exhibitionist distribution system and crazy swinging arm. For the transmission, it bathes in oil. The chain (yes, yes) is trapped in a casing filled with this lubricant and it is difficult to imagine the forces that must occur in there. Like the Buell and Voxan, the rear damping system is located under the bike. As for the exhaust, we stashed it under the saddle, basta.
Exceptional machine often rhymes with limited production. There will only be 250 copies of this madness. I prefer not to tell you the price of a machine worthy of the greatest psychotic delusions – a motorcycle that many surely (and me the first) would want to try one day. But before scaring yourself by looking at the price at the bottom of this sheet, know that an MV-Agusta is ridiculous in comparison…
