Matchless motorcycles, one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the world made a return to the world stage at EICMA 2014 with the Model X Reloaded.
The Model X Reloaded is a concept from the British company, though with an Italian owner. Even though it is still not certain whether the Model X will see production, but if it does, then the numbers will not exceed 100 units in a year.
The Matchless stays true to its British lineage in styling and mixes retro styling with modern technology quite well. The saddle, forks and suspension are fully adjustable along with a host of other features which ensure that the rider stays comfortable and safe, including its 12 piston front brake calliper! The bike is powered by a 1916cc v-twin engine.
Matchless is one of the oldest marques of British motorcycles, manufactured in Plumstead, London, between 1899 and 1966. A wide range of models were produced under the Matchless name, ranging from small two-strokes to 750 cc fourstroke twins. Matchless had a long history of racing success.
