Overview

### Introducing the Ecosse The Heretic: A Masterpiece of Naked Bike Engineering The 2012 Ecosse The Heretic boldly redefines the naked bike category, positioning itself as a limited-edition masterpiece for the discerning rider. With its striking design and uncompromising performance, The Heretic captures the essence of freedom on two wheels. This motorcycle is not merely a mode of transport; it is a statement of individuality, meticulous engineering, and a passion for speed. Crafted by the innovative minds at Ecosse, The Heretic stands out in a crowded market, appealing to those who appreciate a fusion of style and substance. ### Engine Performance: A Symphony of Power and Torque At the heart of The Heretic lies a formidable 1966cc V2, four-stroke engine that produces a staggering 133 HP and an impressive torque of 185.77 Nm. This powerhouse offers exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling riding experience, whether you’re cruising city streets or carving through winding mountain roads. The engine’s 10.5:1 compression ratio and carburetor-fed Mikuni 45mm flat slide fuel system ensure a responsive throttle and smooth power delivery. With a six-speed gearbox and a chain final drive, The Heretic provides riders with the ability to tap into its robust performance across a wide range of conditions, making every ride an adventure. ### Key Features and Innovative Technology The Heretic’s frame is a work of art, constructed from CrMo mainframe and subframe, complemented by a stunning carbon fiber body that includes the headlight, fenders, and tank. This unique combination not only contributes to the bike’s lightweight profile—at just 205 kg (452 lbs)—but also enhances its overall aesthetics. Equipped with Öhlins fully adjustable suspension on both front and rear, riders can easily switch between dragster, cruiser, and road racer modes, tailoring their experience to suit their riding style. With advanced braking technology featuring double disc front brakes and a 6-piston radial caliper system, stopping power is as impressive as the bike’s acceleration. Each unit is engraved with a sequential production number, highlighting its exclusivity and craftsmanship. ###
