You know who you are. You're a cross country fiend. You like your bike fast, efficient, light, and aching to be opened up under full throttle. It's for you that we build the Top Fuel 8. Featuring the same cutting-edge suspension technologies as the flagship 9.9 SSL, the Top Fuel 8 forgoes OCLV Carbon in favor of aluminum--extra-light, super-tough Alpha Red aluminum to be exact. It's a winning combination of purpose-built performance, robust components, and a singular obsession with speed. The concessions are modest; the results are anything but.
