Engineered by Saxon for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2012 Saxon Firestorm relies on a 1573 cc (96 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Firestorm measures 291 kg (642 lbs) dry. 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, combined with a 2,007 mm (79 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
