With each bike made to order, the Pendine Sand Racer promises exclusivity, offering an array of customizable finishes and options to ensure that no two are alike. At the heart of the Pendine Sand Racer is a formidable 997cc V2, four-stroke engine that produces an exhilarating 100 horsepower at 9800 RPM and an impressive torque of 130 Nm at 8000 RPM. This powerful engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, delivering seamless acceleration that catapults riders into the thrill of the ride.

The machined titanium frame and fabricated titanium subframe provide extraordinary strength while keeping the weight down to just 196 kg. The Fior-type front suspension, with adjustable monoshock, and a progressive rear suspension system offer an exceptional ride quality, absorbing bumps and providing stability on sandy terrains. The sophisticated braking system, featuring double disc brakes with four-piston calipers in the front and a single disc with two-piston calipers in the rear, ensures reliable stopping power, allowing riders to push the limits with confidence. The aggressive black and silver color scheme adds to the bike's striking presence, making it a head-turner on the road or the beach. **
