At the heart of the 2008 Saxon Griffin custom - cruiser motorcycle, Saxon relies on a 1573 cc (96 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 94.0 x 119.4 mm (3.7 x 4.7 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Griffin measures 307.1 kg (677 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 2,070 mm (81.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.14-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 433 km (269 miles) between fill-ups.
