At the heart of the 2009 Saxon Firestorm custom - cruiser motorcycle, Saxon utilizes a 1573 cc (96 cu in) v2, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 648 mm (25.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 541 km (336 miles) between fill-ups.
