FRAME DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The frame is one of the most important components on a motorcycle. The frame must be designed strong enough and
built rigid enough to:
•
Manage the power and torque created by the power train and maintain its alignment during the full range of
acceleration/deceleration.
•
Maintain wheel alignment during extreme braking and hard cornering, as well as while riding over rough
surfaces.
•
Provide a solid mounting surface and pivot points for the front and rear suspension.
•
Effectively support the weight of the motorcycle itself as well as the rider, a passenger, and travel gear.
Your Vengeance motorcycle frame utilizes one of the strongest frame designs in the motorcycle industry and is
specifically designed and built with all these requirements in mind.
The “cradle frame” surrounds the engine and is reinforced at critical stress points by the frame's tubing, forming
triangular shapes. The frame is made from high-strength seamless steel tubing and utilizes a high tensile strength
welding process to extremely tight tolerances. The Vengeance custom frame is designed to provide exceptional
strength and performance.
