Built around Saxon's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2010 Saxon Griffin relies on a 1573 cc (96 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Griffin measures 297.1 kg (655 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.
Within MotoLibrary's Saxon archive, this model family spans 5 indexed model years from 2008 to 2012, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
