December 2021 - A work of art and a feat of engineering, the lightweight chassis was developed from the ground up by Bandit9 Motors’ in-house aerospace, robotics and mechatronics engineers to withstand enormous forces and look good doing it.
The chassis uses 7075 aluminum, which is typically used in missiles, spacecraft and other defense applications and has excellent mechanical properties: high strength, toughness, and great resistance to fatigue. The materials of the Supermarine are made for the stars. The design, however, was inspired by the sea. The body borrows its curves from leaping Mobula Rays, while the frame is inspired by coral reefs.
The modern Triumph twin engine bike is a British workhorse with sophisticated tuning that makes the Supermarine suited for both the Salt Flats and Savile Row. It’s a bare-knuckle boxer in an English suit.
