Derringer cycles were a modern interpretation of the board track racing motorcycles from the 1920s. They captured the sleek and bold spirit of early motorsports, while also offering a high degree of personalized customization. Each Derringer cycle was distinct, reflecting the individuality of its owner.
For those who appreciated a bespoke ride, Derringer presented an opportunity to own a motorbike that seamlessly blended cutting-edge engineering with a timeless, high-performance look.
Equipped with a moto-hybrid drivetrain, Derringer cycles were well-suited for the modern age. They boasted excellent fuel efficiency, achieving an impressive 180 miles per gallon, and featured an ultra-clean four-cycle engine that complied with rigorous CARB tier 3 emissions standards.
Designed by the acclaimed industrial designer Adrian Van Anz, every Derringer motorbike reflected meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, allowing owners to customize their ride with unique components. These sophisticated options included features like hammered copper rivets, handcrafted leather saddles, and distinctive white tires made without the use of carbon black.
Although Derringer Cycles are no longer in production and cannot be purchased new from the manufacturer, their legacy endures in the unique bikes that continue to be cherished by their owners.
