challenger motorcycles

We are Challenger Motorcycles. We specialize in custom V8 trikes and motorcycles. We use GM LS3 motors on all of our bikes for reliability. Whether you desire one that has 430 hp, 495 hp, or 525hp... we’ll make it happen! All of our bikes come freshly equipped with a 4L60E (4-speed with overdrive) automatic transmission, independent rear suspension, and even air ride. Comfortablity and practicality is what we strive for in our bikes.

Our bikes weigh approximately 1,700 lbs dry. Don’t let the weight fool you though! Our bikes are very easy to turn and maneuver around. The culprit on why our bikes can turn so effortlessly is because of the 39 degree rake on our inverted front ends.

If you’re wanting to custom order a bike or trike, just give us a call! We can do any color in the book you that you desire. You have the option to have a fairing or to go without one as well.

Our Trikes and Bikes

While we started with just creating trikes, we have expanded and created our very first V8 bike!

The bike is named the “Cobra.” It has the same motor as the trikes, but equipped with a 2-speed Winters transmission. It is a very balanced, level ride. The “Cobra” is an absolute powerhouse.

The “Cobra” has a low center of gravity. This is due to the fact the gas tank is located under the seat, just like our trikes. With this lower center of gravity, you automatically get superior handling while seamlessly gliding into turns or maneuvering the bike in general.

The “Cobra” and “Spirit” Challenger are decked out with air ride, Eddie Trotta Designs accessories, and the inverted American Suspension front ends.

Air ride allows the driver to immediately adjust their ride, on the fly to their liking. With this capability, you can stiffen up your ride or soften it depending on the type of road you are on for maximum comfort at all times.

Eddie Trotta Designs accessories are elegant and luxurious accessory pieces used to spice up how a bike appears. Think of it as jewelry for your bike. It will give a unique, freshly polished look to your already stunning bike. A good first impression is guaranteed.

American Suspension’s inverted front forks give the bikes and trikes great adaptability and comfortabity. They have better shock absorption than ever before.
