presentation of the WHIP 2009
Heralded as the haute couture of motorcycling, American chopper brand Saxon presents a new model in Europe: the Whip, an authentic, rebellious machine.
Following the success of the three models sold in France, the Warlord, the Firestorm and the Henchman, Absolut Cycles, importer of these magnificent machines, is now offering the Whip, the latest addition to the range which has been a huge success in the USA.
A scathing motorcycle
Beauty, harmony, quality and originality are the hallmarks of Saxon models. The Whip meets these criteria of excellence, while offering clean lines that radically position it as authentic and rebellious in the pure tradition of the chopper. Basic, it's aimed first and foremost at purists in the true "West Coast" spirit, on the USA side of course. A bike for real men!
Compact for a chopper, the Whip is easy to handle and very light (253 kilos). Extremely comfortable, it offers its rider real pleasure in curves and great stability in a straight line.
Entirely hand-built, its chromium plating is a true masterpiece. It offers rare technical and mechanical precision, and benefits from state-of-the-art technology.
Like other Saxon models, the Whip is powered by an S&S American V-Twin engine, a guarantee of quality and reliability.
The Whip features a rigid frame, telescopic forks and Brembo brakes front and rear.
A Saxon advantage is that the Whip can be produced in a variety of versions and colors, depending on the customer's wishes. Custom-made by hand for every order.
All Saxon models come with a two-year warranty.
