Keanu Reeves Starring Cyberpunk 2077 To Feature Arch Method 143

Cyberpunk arch

Cyberpunk 2077, an upcoming open-world role-playing video game is highly awaited for all the right reasons. Movie enthusiasts would be glad to know that our beloved Keanu Reeves stars in the game. Discerning motorcycle aficionados would also be aware that Keanu has his own high-end, bespoke motorcycle brand, Arch Motorcycle Company. In a perfect marriage of the virtual world and the pursuit of custom motorcycling, one of the brand’s bikes, the Arch Method 143, will be featured in the game, albeit in a tastefully done futuristic form. In fact, Keanu and his partner-designer Gard Hollinger have been working on capturing the essence of the bike for players to enjoy in the game. Drool over this behind the scenes video:

The makers of Cyberpunk 2077 (Poland-based CD Projekt Red) have taken inspiration from the Method 143 and added a creative futuristic twist to the game. It gets a rather compact yet presumably powerful powerplant with a twin exhaust system, solid wheels, and an authentic, raw V-twin engine note as Keanu puts it “...the source will be pure!” They have even gone to the extent of creating a detailed first person view of the cockpit, complete with a functional fully digital instrument cluster.

The bike in real life is powered by a massive 2,343cc S&S air-cooled V-twin engine that’s good for 172PS of power and about 200Nm of torque. It nestles inside America’s first production carbon-fibre mono-cell motorcycle chassis linked to an inverted front fork and a rear monoshock mounted on a single-sided swingarm, both from Ohlins and fully adjustable.

It features several performance enhancing bits with painful attention to detail like the machined aluminium fuel tank, tail section, billet aluminium headlamp cowl, carbon-fibre fork aero-foils, front and rear fender, and even a set of turbine-style carbon-fibre wheels. And oh, the dual MotoGP-inspired exhaust by SC Project is made from a combination of titanium, carbon fibre and billet aluminium. Of course, all the cool engineering commands exclusivity. It takes 90 days to build a bike and production is limited to just 23 units.

Method game

The details of how to unlock/acquire the motorcycle will be revealed when the game releases on November 19, 2020. We hope this game will be well worth its salt. After all, it’s made by CD Projekt Red that has won many accolades, particularly for The Witcher series, for its incredible storyline and lore, soulful character development as well as addictive gameplay.

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Review In Pictures

  Watch Video Review   Triumph has launched its new hardcore Scrambler 1200 XC in India at Rs 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India). We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review   While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. Also read:  Family Feud: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC vs Tiger 800 XCx   The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit.   Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
