Unveiling the Super Cruiser Concept
The Roland Sands–designed Super Cruiser debuted in February 2023. Harnessing components from the standard Buell rolling kit, such as the 1,190cc liquid-cooled ET-V2 V-twin engine and 17-inch alloy wheels, this machine embodies innovation. The challenge of integrating core elements into a cruiser package was expertly met by Sands, resulting in a new steel tube frame that syncs with Buell’s signature swingarm.
The Super Cruiser's Road Presence
In 2024, during a pre-ride with Buell's CEO, it became clear that the preproduction Super Cruiser is all set to take on the world. The distinct FXR-inspired aesthetics include a quarter fairing, a shapely fuel tank, and one-piece saddle. While the ET-V2 motor might lack traditional cruiser aesthetics, expect refinements in the final production version.
Super Cruiser Ergonomics and Performance
The seating on the Super Cruiser complements its high-performance stature, providing enough support during quick launches. Although some might critique its ergonomic styling, the Supe Cruiser is all about the thrill of the ride. A single Saddlemen seat is both supportive and aligned for a bold experience.
Conclusion
The Buell Super Cruiser, with its combination of superbike power and cruiser aesthetics, sets a new standard in motorcycle innovation. With the production expected to begin in 2025, Buell aims to cater to the aficionados of high-performance motorcycles. Until then, enthusiasts can secure their place in line with a modest pre-order deposit.
