Previously, Atwyld had customized the Bullitt and Moto-3 helmets with its own graphics. Now, they have taken on the Moto-10 Spherical, which breaks away from the retro style. The graphic features a bold white and gloss carbon shell with gold Bell and Atwyld logos on the sides, adding to the helmet’s extraterrestrial aesthetic.

Métisse McQueen Desert Racer: A Classic Recreation Limited to 300 Units

Métisse Motorcycles, a British brand specializing in frames and frame kits for British bike engines, has unveiled an intriguing new bike called the McQueen Desert Racer. Inspired by the legendary Steve McQueen, this bike is an exact replica of McQueen’s Metisse MK3, which he personally modified. Métisse Motorcycles plans to produce only 300 copies of this bike, each accompanied by an exclusive “Collection Certificate” that includes the bike’s registration number and an endorsement by the McQueen estate to verify its authenticity.

Métisse McQueen Desert Racer

Steve McQueen once praised the Métisse Motorcycles MK3 as the best handling bike he ever owned. The replica bikes offer a range of configuration options. While designed as a race replica, they can be road registered and equipped with a pillion seat, encouraging owners to ride them rather than just display them.

The Métisse Motorcycles McQueen Desert Racer retains its original form, powered by a reconditioned 650cc T6 Triumph engine. The engine is paired with a four-speed transmission, and features an Amal single carburetor. It is housed within a nickel-plated brazed 4130 chromoly frame.

For suspension, the bike is equipped with 35-millimeter Ceriani forks and BSA yokes, while the twin Girling reproduction rear suspension includes dampers and springs. The bike features seven-inch Triumph drum brakes at the front and weighs 135 kilograms when dry.

The bike can be road-legal with the addition of various accessories. A dual-saddle option with pillion footpegs is available, and the Road Pack includes a complete lighting setup, including a headlight, horn, indicators, taillight, and brake light. To purchase this replica, visit Métisse Motorcycles’ official website.

The new BMW CE 02.

The new BMW CE 02 – neither e-scooter nor e-motorcycle: The cool eParkourer for cities and urban areas.

With the new BMW CE 02, BMW Motorrad is introducing an e-vehicle designed for urban areas, following the launch of the CE 04 two years ago. This is in line with their commitment to electric mobility. The eParkourer offers a dynamic and enjoyable riding experience in urban environments, thanks to its electric drive, innovative design, and practical features.

Progressive design with new proportions and plenty of room for individualization.

The new BMW CE 02 represents a new approach to BMW Motorrad. It is an electric vehicle that appeals specifically to young people and defies categorization as either an e-motorbike or an e-scooter. It is an eParkourer designed for the city and urban environments. The design is practical, robust, and minimalist. It features large wheels for durability and excellent performance on various terrains. The frame, wheels, front fender, and triple clamp fairing are all black, creating a striking contrast with the granite grey metallic matt engine cover. The interplay of matte and high-gloss surfaces adds to its visual appeal. The special HIGHLINE version features gold anodized forks and a tape design with Petrol as a contrasting color, giving the CE 02 a dynamic and futuristic look even when stationary.

Powerful drive, low weight, and practical range. Two performance variants.

The CE 02 weighs only 132 kg (11 kW version) or 119 kg (4 kW version) and has a low seat height of 750 mm, which contributes to its playful handling characteristics.

Two riding modes “Flow” and “Surf” as standard and optional “Flash” mode.

The HIGHLINE optional equipment includes a quick charger with a charging power of 1.5 kW. This option is only available for the 11 kW version and can also be purchased as an original BMW Motorrad accessory.

It has hydraulically damped telescopic forks at the front, a single-sided swingarm, and a directly pivoted shock absorber at the rear.

Disc brakes ensure safe deceleration at the front and rear wheels, and BMW Motorrad ABS is featured at the front.

TFT display, USB-C charging port, and connectivity solutions.

There is also a USB-C charging socket for powering a smartphone. Using the BMW Motorrad Connected app, riders can see the estimated time remaining for charging, thanks to Bluetooth connectivity.
