With the smorgasbord of tasty new motorcycles presented at EICMA today, time to finish off with a little dolce — dessert in Italian. Care for a little CAKE? The Swedish EV OEM treated the crowd in Milan to 85 kilo Bukk intended for aggressive trail and track use. Performance is equivalent to the A2 classification and continues CAKE’s commitment to accelerate the transition towards a zero emission society, combining excitement with responsibility.
“The Bukk represents the boundary-pushing performance ambition of CAKE products,” claims CEO Stefan Ytterborn, “This is a true next-level, off-road electric platform. The learnings from developing race and off-road motorcycles gives us the insight of what true durability really means.” BTW Bukk means “Thunder Cloud" in the ancient language from the island of Gotland, CAKE’s testing ground and inspiration for the naming of all of its products.
“A key component that is being implemented in all our products, from basic commuter models to hardcore utility vehicles, is stretching life cycles,” he adds. “CAKE’s mission has always been to respect our world and those who live in it while inspiring towards zero emission, where true excitement blends with responsibility. This is what the Bukk is all about.”
At 85 kg, the Bukk offers a category-leading power to weight ratio. Engineered and manufactured from scratch, including unique tooling, the frame, geometry, suspension and components are all new. The high-performance powertrain features a 72V battery and 16kW motor delivering 420Nm of instant electric torque and a top speed of +100 Km/h. A choice of three ride modes offer an array of riding style choices. Together with WP and Öhlins suspension, Ytterborn claims the Bukk provides incomparable agility, control and speed, silently without polluting on trails and track.
