The Fighter is light, nimble and fun. 2 speeds for pedalling and a 2kW direct drive hub motor enable the rider to reach speeds of 50+km/h without breaking a sweat. The 6 pot hydraulic disc brakes and air adjustable suspension give Fighter the flexibility to handle anything from fast flowing single track to tight, technical trails.
Frame
The Fighter was developed with light weight and agility in mind. While this frame is smaller and lighter than the Bomber, it’s equally as tough. Aircraft certified CrMo alloys and high quality welding techniques maintain the high torsional values throughout the stiffness matrix. The inbuilt battery fastening system allows for battery changeovers in less than 90 seconds keeping the rider in the saddle for longer. The Fighter also boasts a light weight yet ultra stiff CrMo swingarm with integrated torque arms and adjustable wheelbase for those who want to fine tune their ride.
Motor
Now producing up to 2.2kW, the direct drive brushless DC hub motor has just one moving part between the motor and the ground increasing control, reliability and efficiency with virtually no sound emission.
Transmission
Pedal power to the Fighter is transmitted via the 2 internally geared bottom bracket. Shifting gears is a case of clicking your heels as the pace starts to go from low speed to high speed. The floating drive train eliminates the need for chain tensioners and unnecessary maintenance while emitting minimal sound emissions and maintaining pedal efficiency.
Front Suspension
Standard issue are the 7” conventional single crown forks. With 2 dials to adjust compression and rebound adjustment and air adjustment for preload, these forks are light weight and versatile enough for most situation. For heavier or more adventurous riders, the forks can be upgraded to custom tuned conventional 7” dual crown forks. Rough stuff is eaten up without a second thought and the easy to reach compression and rebound adjustment allow for the setting to be changed within seconds.
Rear Suspension
The rear of the Fighter sports a fully adjustable air shock which can cope with a wide range of rider weights and damping preferences as well as a lockout when the rear suspension isn’t required.
Brakes
Like the Bomber, the standard Fighter comes with the powerful 6 piston hydraulic brake calipers which bite hard with only 1 or 2 fingers on the levers. A lighter bike means that the brakes feel better by comparison and have the goods to stand the bike up on its front wheel very easily. If braking is of major concern, then the 8 pots are the way to go. The improved feedback to the rider combined with the ability to bite hard when you really need it, leave these brakes as the obvious choice. The increased surface area of the calipers help to dissipate the heat on long downhill runs providing the stopping power when the speed becomes too much.
Battery
The high rate lithium cells and custom built battery management system monitors every cell in the pack throughout the charge and discharge cycles, maintaining precise cell balance and a cycle life of up to 1000 discharge cycles. Charge time is just 2 hours and the bikes can be charged at any 110V or 240V household outlet.
