==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] v2, four-stroke. A 94.0mm [[bore]] x 71.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 997.0 cubic centimeters. | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the multiplate oil-bath adler clutch with hydraulic operation. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 120/70-zr18 front [[tire]] and a 160/60-zr18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via double disc. four-piston calipers. in the front and a single disc. two-piston calipers. in the rear. The front suspension was a fior-type cast aluminium wishbone fork with twin articulated titanium triangular links, and monoshock adjustable for preload and rebound damping with 120mm travel while the rear was equipped with a cast aluminium swingarm pivoting in engine crankcases, with monoshock adjustable for preload and rebound damping and progressive rate link with 130mm travel. The bike weighed just 410.06 pounds (186.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 60.63 inches (1540 mm) long. | |||

The SS100 (Super Sports) was powered by J.A.P. (J. A. Prestwich of Tottenham) or Matchless 1000 cc V-twin engines. From 1924 to 1940, almost 383 units of this bike were built. | |||

The new Brough Superior SS100 is a wonderful thing and the few lucky people who have the cash available to buy one are going to love it. The fact it’s so well built, so well-resolved is a triumph for such a small outfit. This is the perfect representation of a modern ‘gentleman’s motorcycle’ and the future is bright for the famous Brough Superior brand. | |||
Of all the engineering on this bike it’s the 997cc water-cooled V-twin that really stands out. While so many other small companies opt for an ‘off-the-shelf’ motor from one of the many global suppliers, Brough Superior insisted this bike could only exist if they developed their own motor. Work on the engine has been done by Akira Engineering; the same company that builds the factory Kawasaki engines for the World Superbike riders Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea. | |||
The V-twin motor is smooth, tractable yet still willing to rev out. It’s only when leaving it in too high a gear that any piston slap starts to become a problem. | |||
