Its aggressive stance and muscular lines demand attention, making it an instant classic among motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors alike. At the heart of the X132 Hellcat lies a formidable 2,163cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a staggering 132 horsepower and an astonishing 196.62 Nm of torque. The balanced bore and stroke of 111.8mm ensures that this beast delivers power across a broad range of RPMs, making it an exhilarating ride for both spirited jaunts and relaxed cruising.
