STREET HAWK _____ ARC VECTOR


+ ARC Vector Helmet
The helmet features a HUD
built into the visor that can
display speed, GPS and revs,
plus a rear-view camera for
enhanced awareness.

++ ARC Vector Jacket
Made by UK bike protection
specialists Knox, this sensor-
laden haptic jacket will
“tap”-vibrate your shoulder
to alert you, should a car
approach from behind.

Billed as the world’s first motorcycle with integrated multisensory HMI (Human
Machine Interface), the 339-Volt all-electric Vector comes with a connected
helmet and sensor-packed jacket to enhance the ride and improve safety. It
weighs just 220kg but boasts 133bhp and 292ftlb of torque, enabling it to go
0-100kph in 3.1 seconds. Range has been calculated at 580km (urban) and with
a fast-charger you’ll be fully juiced in 45 minutes. As a monocoque, the battery,
motor and tech are all housed in a carbon tub that allows the suspension to attach
directly, making it super stiff and 25 per cent lighter than anything else available.
