2019
The Marine Turbine Technologies (MTT) Superbike 2019 represents a unique and audacious entry into the hyperbike category. It's not merely a motorcycle; it's a turbine-powered spectacle. While difficult to compare directly, motorcycles like the Kawasaki Ninja H2R, with its supercharged engine, offer a similar pursuit of extreme performance, although the H2R takes a different engineering approach to achieving it.
At the heart of the MTT Superbike 2019 lies a Rolls-Royce Allison 250-C18 gas turbine engine, churning out a staggering 420.0 HP (306.6 kW) at 52000 RPM. This immense power translates into phenomenal acceleration, further amplified by a colossal 678.0 Nm (69.1 kgf-m or 500.1 ft.lbs) of torque available at just 2000 RPM. The motorcycle boasts a claimed top speed of 402.3 km/h (250.0 mph), placing it among the fastest production motorcycles ever created. All this power is packed into a machine weighing 226.8 kg (500.0 pounds), and the fuel capacity is 32.17 litres (8.50 US gallons).
Riding an MTT Superbike is an experience unlike any other. The sound of the turbine alone sets it apart. Due to the nature of the turbine engine, throttle response is different from a conventional combustion engine. The riding position is relatively standard sportbike, although modified to accommodate the unique power plant. The seat height is 800 mm (31.5 inches), providing a reasonable reach to the ground for most riders, but it is not adjustable.
The MTT Superbike 2019 is not for the faint of heart or the everyday commuter. Its intended audience is likely collectors, thrill-seekers with deep pockets, and those who crave the ultimate in exclusivity and performance. Its extreme power and unconventional engine make it a unique, if somewhat impractical, addition to any collection.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Exceptional power-to-weight ratio delivers unparalleled acceleration and top speed due to the Rolls-Royce Allison 250-C18 turbine engine. • Unique auditory experience provides an unforgettable and distinct sound signature, differentiating it from piston-engine motorcycles. • Exclusivity and rarity make it a highly sought-after collector's item, increasing its potential value and prestige. • Showstopping design and engineering attract attention and admiration, making a bold statement wherever it goes. • Advanced technology integration, including electronic rider aids, enhances control and safety despite the extreme power output. • Aftermarket support for some parts is surprisingly available due to the commonality of the engine in aviation applications.⚠️ Things to consider
• Extremely high purchase price and maintenance costs limit accessibility to a very small and wealthy demographic. • Complex turbine engine requires specialized technicians for servicing and repairs, making maintenance inconvenient and expensive. • Poor fuel economy and limited range make it impractical for everyday use or long-distance touring. • Extreme heat generated by the turbine poses potential safety concerns for the rider and surrounding environment. • High noise levels can be fatiguing on long rides and may violate noise regulations in some areas.With 420 HP, requires full Class A license. Riders must be 24+ or have 2 years A2 experience (20+).
