The Italian manufacturer Vyrus rolls-out its all-new Alyen 988 superbike, combining speed and power with a futuristic design for a motorbike in an exclusive way.
It is powered by a Ducati-sourced four-stroke engine producing 202 HP from a 1,285 cc displacement. This is paired to a six-speed gearbox, allowing the superbike to rev to 10,500 RPM.
The major attraction of Vyrus Alyen 988 is the motorbikes bodywork. It’s an intricate, geometric design made from a network of naked carbon fiber panels that sit atop a bespoke magnesium double omega frame. Sharp angles at the rear stop short of the overhanging rear wheel unit, while under-seat exhaust pipes give the bike a sporting look from the back.
The handlebars are also machined from a solid block of Ergal which is essentially a 7075 aluminium alloy.
The design exposes the engine unit slightly, displaying components such as the Ducati cover on the lateral side and elements of the independent front-and-rear push-rod twin-pivot suspensions. Vyrus completes the Alyen 988’s look with a set of 17-inch carbon fiber wheels and a digital speedometer nestled in front of the handlebars.
