Two years ago we spoke of the rebirth of the Matchless motorcycle brand, and today we see the first fruits of that company’s labor. Debuting three renderings that depict a future model, we get to see our first glimpse of the Matchless Model X Reloaded – a motorcycle that blends both the modern technology of today with the iconic lines of the British marque’s past.
Borrowing its name from the Matchless Model X, the Model X Reloaded keeps some of the 1920’s motorcycle’s aesthetic, helping connect the brand of the past to the company of the future. Other details are thin, though we do know that the Matchless Model X Reloaded will have an S&S X-Wedge v-twin motor with 1,916cc of displacement.
With oil in frame, and a number of other vague features named in its press release, the highlight has to be Matchless’ statement regarding a 12-piston front brake caliper up front, and a 6-piston rear caliper. We expect to see the marque come to its senses by its November 2014 debut though, at the upcoming EICMA show. More info as we get it.
