Designed for those who crave the freedom of the open road combined with the unmistakable presence of a heavyweight motorcycle, this trike redefines what it means to ride in style.

At the heart of the Boss Hoss BHC-9 LS3 Trike lies a monstrous 6200 cc V8 engine that delivers an astonishing 445 horsepower at 5750 RPM and a jaw-dropping torque of 603.42 Nm at 4750 RPM.

The innovative multi-port fuel injection system ensures optimal performance, while the belt final drive provides seamless power transfer. Whether you're cruising on the open road or navigating through urban landscapes, the BHC-9's handling is enhanced by its adjustable preload suspension, providing comfort and control even on longer journeys. The Boss Hoss BHC-9 is not just about raw power; it’s also packed with features designed for rider comfort and safety. The trike comes equipped with impressive dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc brake, both featuring four-piston calipers for superior stopping power. The inverted front forks offer adjustable preload, ensuring that riders can customize their suspension setup for any riding condition. With a weight of 660 kg (1,455 lbs) and a generous fuel capacity of 32.17 liters (8.50 gallons), the BHC-9 is built to take you on long adventures without compromising on stability or comfort. Advanced engineering and thoughtful design elements make the BHC-9 not just a motorcycle, but a statement of personal style and freedom. **
