Damon Motors has just given us the name of a new electric bike set to join their showroom floor – and we’re told only 100 units of this stripped down streetfighter-style will be made available.
Before we get our bonnets in a twist, I’m going to start off by saying that Damon is holding their cards super close to their chest for this one. They’ve given us a guess-worthy silhouette for the HyperFighter Colossus, along with a full specification sheet and the heads-up that Damon Motors plans on releasing this exclusive machine in 2022.
Beyond that, we don’t have a lot to go off of, and we’re assuming it’s going to be the typical game of bait-and-retreat that Damon’s gotten too good at.
(We’d love to be wrong, though at this point we’re also volunteering chamomile tea and calming breathing techniques to the many empty-handed reservees of the Hypersport model, bless them.)

Purported by Yahoo! Finance as “derived from Damon’s first bike, the HyperSport, and built upon the company’s groundbreaking HyperDrive™ technology”, the HyperFighter Colossus has apparently also pioneered into new territory. Damon’s website tells us that the naked supersport is officially “the world’s first monocoque-constructed, 100 percent electric, multi-variant powertrain.”

Damon’s official website tells us that we can reserve the HyperFighter Colossus for $250 USD, with the full price blowing the bank at a whistle-worthy $35,000 (we also have the option to ‘subscribe’ to the HyperFighter and ride for $475 per month).
