MTT reveals its anniversary Superbike: 420 horsepower with Rolls Royce turbine!

The most intrepid motorcyclists are going to be amazed. Marine Turbine Technologies (MTT) has just launched a bombshell: the anniversary edition of its legendary 420RR. This bike with a Rolls Royce turbine, which has proven its worth for 25 years, is back in a limited edition to celebrate the anniversary of the machine. And mind you, when we talk about this bike, we’re talking about a beast of 420 horsepower, no less. If you feel ready to conquer the roads, get prepared because we’re hopping on the supercar train with helicopter engines. Ready to discover this performance monster?

The story of a mechanical monster

A quarter of a century ago, someone had the idea of putting a Rolls-Royce turbine on a bike. Yes, you read that right, a helicopter turbine! It’s like putting an airplane reactor on a bike. The result? The 420RR. A bike that has left its mark in the history of two wheels with its engine capable of unleashing 420 horsepower at 52,000 RPM. And that’s not all. The torque accompanying this technological monster is 677 Nm, enough to provide you with an acceleration that literally sends you to another dimension.

But MTT didn’t settle for making a bike with a beastly engine. No, the 420RR is equipped with the best possible components. We’re talking about ISR brakes, Öhlins suspensions, an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis, and BST wheels. All of this is not just for aesthetics. Each piece is designed to offer maximum performance, and believe me, this bike has nothing to envy from a sports car.

The anniversary version: ultra-limited edition

Today, to celebrate its 25 years, MTT launches a limited edition of its 420RR. Only 5 models will be produced. It’s ultra exclusive. The turbine, that one, remains true to the Rolls-Royce M250-C20B, a machine accustomed to spinning for helicopters. But MTT isn’t here to do things halfway. They have upgraded all of this into a package worthy of the best supercars. The result: a bike that reaches a theoretical speed of 440 km/h.

Yes, you read that right, 440 km/h. On a bike, that’s totally insane. Can you imagine? Going as fast as a fighter jet but with the freedom of the road. And all of this, for the modest sum of… $275,000 (approximately €262,000). A price that, for many, could be that of a luxury car, but for a bike like this, it’s almost a bargain for enthusiasts of extreme performance.

MTT and the turbine: a story of innovation

The turbine is what makes this bike magical. We are talking about a helicopter engine, not just a simple thermal bike engine. And this technology has allowed MTT to stand out for years among other brands. If Kawasaki, for instance, bets on a turbocharged engine for its H2R (with “only” 326 horsepower), MTT remains unrivaled with its 420 horsepower. And honestly, at 52,000 RPM, it feels like you’re taking off into space every time you accelerate.

But it’s not just the engine that makes the difference. The components of the 420RR are military grade. Every detail has been designed to withstand G forces. This bike is not just a toy; it’s a war machine for speed purists.

The technical features that impress

If you want to know all the specifications of the monster, get ready. The engine, a Rolls-Royce M250-C20B turbine, delivers 420 horsepower with a torque of 677 Nm. Want acceleration? With such an engine, you can expect to take off from the road. The 420RR is equipped with a mixed aluminum and carbon chassis to offer maximum lightness and rigidity, allowing for maximum agility.

The Öhlins suspensions are a reference in the motorsport world. They allow for perfect handling stability, even at insane speeds. And the ISR brakes? Nothing to say, it’s pure performance. It’s enough to say that with these components, the 420RR has everything to rival the best supercars. It’s practically a track bike, but ready to dominate the roads.

An impressive price, but quality comes at a cost

That’s right, the 420RR anniversary is a bike that’s going to cost a lot. Very expensive, in fact. At $275,000, you could buy a luxury sports car, but this bike is much more than just a rolling object. It’s a mechanical work of art, a collectible. If you are a bike enthusiast and truly want to leave your mark in the history of two wheels, this limited edition is probably your ticket to the extreme. It’s an investment for true fans of performance, those seeking to push limits and make history. And let’s be honest, owning a MTT 420RR in your garage is like possessing a piece of legend.
