The 1999 MK III represents a pinnacle step in the evolution of the Atomicycle sports bike, borne from ZeViLa's wealth of real-world experience marrying proven knowledge with cutting-edge technology — all the way from the racetrack to the production line.
With the new '99, the Atomicycle project has been reimagined and redefined like never before, improving markedly in all areas: aerodynamics, ergonomics, engine, chassis and electronics. The result is a stellar new form that performs as well on the track as it does drifting through the city; more intuitively and with significantly less fatigue for operators. A must-feel for both pro-riders and amateurs alike.
The first thing you'll notice about the Atomicycle '99 is its appearance: ZeViLa engineers concentrated especially on the fairing, which now integrates thinner, double-profile wings to guarantee the same vertical load at up to 37 kg at 300 km/h.
If you look lower along the new fairing, you'll notice redesigned extraction sockets which greatly improve cooling, and, ultimately also engine efficiency. For better performance on racetrack days when you need it most, look no further.
The feel and handling of the Atomicycle has always been paramount during its development. Successes with the '99 model include improved control during racetrack sessions and more explosive performance during both single-lap and heavy-use runs.
Crafted with a new shape and fit area, the fuel tank now has +1 liter more capacity and allows riders of all shapes and sizes to better anchor themselves during braking. The new design also integrates the rider into a more aerodynamic – and more comfortable – position within the bike's form. Contact area with the handlebars has been improved, while the saddle now offers a more horizontal plane and includes an additional coating for easier dismounts while reducing physical tendencies to shift forward during braking.
Deep within the heart of the latest Atomicycle beats the MK III, a HӧllvaniaTT-derived powertrain featuring our most advanced improvements yet. Feel the thrill of the ride as soon as you hit the throttle, wherever in Hӧllvania your journey takes you. Delivering 220hp at over 12,500 RPM, the MK III also delivers a torque of 90.6 lb-ft @ 11,000 rpm.
Experience a lengthening of the gear ratio while in first, second and third gears for a more authentic "racing" feel. With the Atomicycle's new gearbox, you can confidently enter tighter corners in first gear, while enjoying more responsive braking and faster acceleration out of them.
The swingarm pivot on the Atomicycle '99 is located 4mm higher than on the 1998 model, increasing its latent anti-squat effect and allowing for better stabilization during open-throttle phases of your journey, including unexpected direction changes and straight-away acceleration. The fixed and non-adjustable positioning of the pivot offers a suspension that feels much more secure and satisfying.
The standard version of the Atomicycle '99 features 43mm diameter fork pistons, an updated steering damper, and fully-adjustable monoshock and cast-aluminum rims with a commanding 5-spoke design. The monobloc front-mounted brake calipers feature four 30mm diameter pistons each working on 330mm diameter discs, ensuring the most exceptional stopping power when you need it most. The rear axle sports a single 245mm disc with a 2-piston caliper.
Enjoy the latest-generation electronics package with a sophisticated new platform that detects your bike's roll, yaw and pitch angles.
The internal computer controls all of the bike's riding phases, whose parameters are connected by default to the 4 Riding Modes available (Standard, Race, Sport, Street). The Atomicycle's functions are managed via intuitive physical controls, and key metrics are displayed on a cutting-edge, multi-color LCD display.
