This commitment to customization adds an extra layer of exclusivity, allowing owners to enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind riding and experience.
Is Vyrus expensive? The apparent higher cost of a Vyrus compared to conventional motorcycles is justified by its exceptional craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and exclusive design. Despite the initial price tag, the overall value, considering customization, uniqueness, and attention to detail, often surpasses what one might expect from more conventionally priced motorcycles. In essence, the perceived expense is a reflection of the superior quality and distinctiveness offered by a Vyrus. The philosophical positioning of a Vyrus is inherent in the product itself; just a look, and you will perceive its value!

THE GENESIS OF ALYEN
In the realm of luxury and innovation, a visionary project takes shape, marking a paradigm shift in motorcycle design. This is the story of Alyen, a brainchild
of Ascanio Rodorigo, brought to life through the deft craftsmanship of Japanese designer Yutaka Igarashi. Over nine years, Alyen evolved through 57 distinct
versions, a testament to its ambitious and intricate conception. This was no ordinary motorcycle; it was a leap into the future, a daring exploration of engineering
and design. The heart of Alyen’s innovation is its unprecedented layout, featuring indirect steering and a double swingarm, a complex and challenging
arrangement that pushes the boundaries of motorcycle engineering. Suspended structures and components interacted in a ballet of precision, creating not just
a machine, but a futuristic creature, transcending the very concept of a motorcycle.
A REVOLUTIONARY STEERING MECHANISM
Alyen’s appearance is otherworldly. Its central body, large and threedimensional, starkly contrast
with traditional motorcycle designs. The creature’s “head” is distinct, housing the Hydraulic Bearing
Wired Steering System (HBWSS), a marvel of engineering by Vyrus. This system, featuring special
cables connected to the handlebar and wheel, incorporates an aerospace tecnology, ensuring smooth
and safe steering. The genius of the HBWSS lay in its redundancy; even if one component failed, its
counterpart could seamlessly take over.
The most captivating aspect of Alyen’s steering system is its “remote control” mechanism.
No physical connection exist between the handlebar and the front wheel, a groundbreaking feature
in motorcycle design. The motorcycle’s profile revealed vast empty spaces between these elements, a
design choice that was both innovative and visually striking.
BRAKING POWER REDEFINED
The braking system of Alyen is where art meets science. Riders have two exceptional options. The
first is a set of Carbonceramic 320mm discs, a choice for those who crave the cutting edge of braking
technology. The second option is the Brembo T-drive 320 mm disc, a marvel derived from the world
of Superbike racing, paired with the Brembo GP4 RR P4 32/36 Monobloc CNC caliper, a name that
echoes through the halls of Motorsport. At the rear, a 245 mm Brembo brake disc is effortlessly tamed
by the Brembo caliper SS P2 43 CNC.
The crowning jewel of Alyen’s control system is the Brembo Radial RCS “Corsa Corta” brake and clutch
pumps, fully adaptable to more demanding Riders.
All of these mechanical parts are supported by the Anti Blocking System (ABS), ensuring that Alyen’s
power and speed are always within the rider’s command, a harmony of man and machine that defies
the limits of what was thought possible on two wheels.
This system promises great stopping power, as certified in the homologation tests which classified
Alyen the best in class.
POWERED BY A STRONG HEART
Forged from an exclusive partnership with Ducati, Alyen is not just a bike, but a symphony
of speed, power, and cutting-edge technology.
At its core, Alyen boasts the Superquadro 1299 engine, a masterpiece assembled by the
skilled hands at Borgo Panigale. Limited to just 20 units, this powerhouse delivers almost
200 horsepower, catapulting Alyen into the realm of the extraordinary. The most powerful
Café racer motorcycle ever produced.
Every turn of Alyen’s throttle is a testament to its unrivaled personality. The electronically
controlled “Ride by Wire” motorized throttle bodies ensure a seamless and responsive
connection between rider and machine, a harmonious dialogue of speed and control.
Alyen’s electronic systems are nothing short of revolutionary. Adhering to the stringent
Euro 5 configuration, these systems orchestrate the bike’s vital functions, pushing its
capabilities to new heights. An inertial platform sits at the helm of this technological
marvel, expertly regulating power delivery, maintaining stability and making every ride a
marvellous experience.
THE MASTERY OF VYRUS’ ADVANCED SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The Vyrus push-rod suspension system, now elevated to new
heights by a groundbreaking device from a renowned Swedish
manufacturer. Picture this: the TTX 40 MK “thru rod” shock
absorber, a masterpiece that redefines the realm of motorcycle
suspensions.
The genius of this system lies in its departure from convention.
Traditional shock absorbers rely on an air-tank, typically inflated
to a robust 12 atmospheres, exerting force against the piston. But
here, in this sleek, sophisticated design, such air-tank is totally
absent. Instead, the TTX 40 MK works on equilibrium – the pressure
is meticulously balanced on both sides of the hydraulic piston. This
ingenious approach provide a perfect internal balance, allowing
for a harmony that ensures a significant advantage on the tires
response over the groundasperity
THE SYMPHONY OF THE VYRUS EXHAUST SYSTEM
From the engine emerge two primary collectors, each 60mm in diameter,
akin to arteries of titanium. These collectors feed into a unique structure,
a so-called compensation container.
Crafted with CNC precision, the upper part of this container is a spectacle
of design and functionality. An aluminium alloy cover, shaped entirely by
milling, cradles the couplings of the two primary inlet manifolds. Inside, a
labyrinth, ingeniously designed to fragment sound, as the gases advance
inside.
The lower lid of this container is a testament to craftsmanship. Made
from a trapezoidal-shaped parallelepiped of stainless steel, just 1mm
thick, it’s folded and welded by hand, for ensuring a precision uniform
thickness.
But the marvel doesn’t end there, emerging from this container are two
tubes, not mere extensions, but the aesthetic soul of the exhaust. They
stretch towards the saddle, sheathed in carbon protection. This carbon
cloak is not just a shield; it’s a rear mudguard which gives it an attractive
aesthetic.
COMPOSITE WHEELS
At the heart of Alyen’s allure are its wheels, crafted by ROTOBOX with a precision
that borders on the obsessive. These aren’t just any wheels; they are masterpieces of
composite materials, boasting an exceptional workmanship that sets them apart in
the world of motorsports. The wheels, in true Vyrus style, feature a striking design of
10 spokes, each a mere 5 mm thick, a testament to the brand’s commitment to avantgarde aesthetics and uncompromising quality.
But Alyen’s charm isn’t just skin deep. These wheels are marvels of technical
prowess. The extraordinarily low weight and their unbelievable strength, hosting
the formidable Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires. The front wheel, with its 3.5”
channel, cradles a 120/70 ZR17 tire, while the rear, more robust with a 6” channel,
accommodates a 200-60 ZR 17 tire. This combination promises a grip on the road
that’s nothing short of extraordinary.
A FUSION OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY
The journey of Alyen was marked by an intricate dance of coordination between the Technical Office and the Vyrus Design Department. Their mission
was to bring this groundbreaking concept to the road. What set Alyen apart was its approach to prototyping, a process revolutionized by Vyrus.
Eschewing traditional methods, not a single gram of clay was modelled, as Alyen defied conventional design foundations. This was a challenge of
engineering and creativity: how to arrange each component in a machine that bore no resemblance to others?
