Model Highlights
ZTL-2™ Front Brake
Proven through multiple wins in US AMA Pro Racing, the Buell Zero Torsional Load (ZTL-2™) front brake utilises a 4-pad, 8-piston caliper and single 375 mm rotor. The caliper casting was optimised for clamp stiffness, yielding a more progressive and connected braking feel to the rider. New for 2010, the flycut ZTL-2™ logo adds a trick look to the caliper. The rim-mounted design eliminates the need for load-bearing spokes or even a second disc, resulting in a front-end assembly that is significantly lighter than competitive designs.
6-Spoke Cast Aluminium Wheels
The Buell 6-spoke front wheel is extremely light, reducing steering inertia and unsprung weight for better handling on the track or less-than-perfect streets.
Underslung Exhaust
Exhausts are heavy and hot. It doesn't make sense to hang them up high and off the back of the bike and close to the rider. Our underslung exhaust - a Buell staple since 1985 - concentrates the weight underneath the chassis to provide greater Mass Centralisation. The result is a clean, uncluttered look, improved flickability and superior handling. It also features a large-volume muffler tuned to produce a linear horsepower and torque curve.
Frame and Swingarm
Handling is key to everything we do. That's why our massive frames and swingarms are made of aluminium. Lightweight and extremely rigid, they minimise torsional flex and optimise lateral flex for control in the corners. Incorporating the fuel tank into the frame and the oil reservoir into the swingarm also improves handling. By lowering the placement of the fluids, the centre of gravity shifts downward, which explains why a Buell® flicks so effortlessly through corners.
Front Suspension
The fully adjustable 43 mm Showa® inverted fork features a high-performance damping cartridge that lets you adjust the setup for any situation. Whether it's at the track or the ride home, you can optimize the suspension for excellent feedback and razor-sharp handling.
Rear Suspension
A top-shelf, Showa® push shock with a fully adjustable damping cartridge allows you to fine-tune the compression, rebound and preload to maximise handling and feedback for any condition.
1203cc Thunderstorm® Engine
The Thunderstorm® 1203 cc, 45-degree V-twin delivers the iconic look, thunderous sound and power-pulsing feel that only a V-twin engine can offer. Following the style of an American Muscle machine, you can tap into maximum torque in any gear, regardless of where the tach needle is pointing. Performance and dependability are enhanced with a large crank pin, a large-capacity oiling system and an electronic timing system and ECM that control a DDFI 3 fuel injection system. Combined, these features improve drivability and performance while reducing maintenance costs.
Buell Intuitive Response Chassis (IRC)
The Lightning handles with surgical precision. And because the chassis is so rigid, it keeps you stable and confident through the turns.
