A superbike with nothing to hide. One electric motor, a carbon chassis and 245 PS, enough for 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds without a single gear change.
One line runs from the tip of the screen, over the tank and out through the tail. The fairings are carbon under the paint, the lights are thin LED blades, and the violet shifts towards blue as the light moves across it.
Keep scrolling and the Meridian R separates into its main systems. Every one of them hangs off the carbon monocoque at its centre.
The frame, tank cover and seat unit are one carbon structure. The battery bolts into it as a stressed member, so the bike carries no separate frame and no wasted weight.
A flat, oil-cooled motor sits just ahead of the swingarm pivot and drives the rear wheel through a single belt. There is no clutch and no gearbox, so full torque arrives the moment you open the throttle.
The cells sit inside the carbon frame where a tank would be, low and close to the centre of the bike. They run at 800 volts, so a fast charger takes the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about the time it takes to have a coffee.
A 43 mm upside-down fork and a single rear shock adjust themselves hundreds of times a second. Pick Road, Track or Rain and the damping, power delivery and traction control change together.
Twin 330 mm discs with radial four-piston calipers up front, plus a motor that brakes the rear wheel and charges the battery as you roll off. Cornering ABS knows the lean angle and holds the line.
Ducts in the nose fairing push air down onto the front wheel at speed, which keeps it planted under hard acceleration. The same air is routed over the battery to keep it cool on track.
No clutch, no gears, no pause. Full torque is there the instant you twist the throttle, and a tuned sound channel under the tank lets you hear the motor work.
First Edition bikes are allocated in the order requests arrive. A Halden specialist will be in touch within two working days.
