Performance

In 2015 Lightning debuted our first Superbike, the LS-218 with 244 horsepower, the world’s fastest production motorcycle. The LS-218 set multiple Land Speed Records, won at Le Mans, and won against the fastest gas race bikes at Pikes Peak. The LS-218 winning DNA is in every Lightning motorcycle we build.
