SOOccs of powerful performance, flowing from
the smoothest, surest source you can get, the
four-stroke, single cylinder, overhead valve
engine. And every other feature is just
as logically planned, including: inside-the-frame pipes,
one compact source-box for electrics—with an instantly
detachable plug, and the conical aluminum hubs.
(Thank you, John Banks.)
Each one of these bikes has features developed
out of John Banks’ own racing experience. Not only
the big things you can see, like the power to go and the
power to stop, the lightweight forks, and the
new lightweight 20" front wheels, but features
you can’t see, like the competition-proved 4-speed gearbox,
the high torque that makes extra gears unnecessary. And there
are many, many more advantages. (Check the specs.)
From the pipe that’s tucked inside the frame, to the muffler that’s baffled away in back,
from the racing frame that carries the oil to the single cylinder, 4-stroke power plant, these bikes
have been proven feature-by-feature by John Banks, Britain’s famous champion racer.
Instantly detachable electrics disconnect with a
single plug that goes to a single-source, water-
resistant box.
