The Buell Firebolt XB9R has been refined for 2004, sharpening its edge in the middle-weight Sportfighter category. Designed to conquer the twisty roads and sweeping byways that challenge serious riders, the XB9R boasts an instantly responsive chassis and a smooth, torquey engine.
The heart of this design is Buell’s Trilogy of Tech philosophy: frame rigidity, mass centralization, and minimal unsprung weight. A rigid aluminum frame serves as both backbone and fuel tank, significantly lowering the center of gravity. The Uniplanar engine mounting system reduces vibration to the rider while incorporating the engine as a stressed chassis member.
The result is an incredibly agile bike that devours corners with ease. With its Zero Torsional Load front braking system, the Firebolt XB9R brings a new level of control and precision to the Sportfighter class.
