Limited to 185 commissioned builds worldwide.

LS12 LIGHTSPEED


Every Langen motorcycle is timeless.

The Lightspeed is the flagship Langen motorcycle, incomparable to any other handbuilt machine.

It sits in a class of its own with hyper-naked performance and agility, superbike-grade componentry, the torque and acceleration of a dragracer, long-distance touring comfort and a high level of customisation expected from a bespoke British motorcycle manufacturer.

Its classical silhouette and purposeful stance are what first stop people in their tracks. Up close, riders discover the meticulous engineering, handcrafted details and precision that define this custom motorcycle and make the Lightspeed such a remarkable machine.

Langen’s blend of creativity and engineering results in amotorcycle that is both automotive art and a high performance machine designed to excel on real roads. It rides with a character and capability that sets it apart from other custom motorcycles.

Every one of the 185 Lightspeed motorcycles is a brand new commission, each one built to order and individually crafted for its owner.

DRY WEIGHT (kg)

Lightweighting is a core philosophy across all Langen machines.
The Lightspeed adopts this philosophy and takes it far beyond any machine outside of the race paddock.
Every component and exotic material has been optimised to save grams.
The result? A dry weight that redifines a class. Aided by Langen's signature chassis and geometry, the Lightspeed's dynamic performance and cornering agility is difficult to comprehend.

MAX TORQUE (Nm)

"Horsepower sells motorcars, torque wins races" - Carroll Shelby.
The Lightspeed's most defining attribute is acceleration. Langen electronics allow a class leading maximum torque of 138Nm.
The real magic is how this is delivered.
Max torque is reached at just 4000rpm and continues the peak through to redline at 10,500rpm. Any speed, any gear, any rpm, brutal acceleration is on tap.

BHP/TONNE

Boasting a power-to-weight ratio synoymous with only the most advnacd and performance focussed supercars and race machines, the Lighstpeed is a unicorn amongst road going production motorcycles.

"Each Lightspeed not only has the unique character of a Langen, but also reflects the character of the individual" - Christofer Ratcliffe

Every Lightspeed is built to order, and is created in the eyes of its new owner and custodian. We believe that it is impossible to create a motorcycle to cater for more than one person. The Lightspeed provides a base for each individual to create and perfect the dream bike. Ergonomics and geometry refinement form the basis of each build. It is essential that each langen is tailored to the rider to provide optimised comfort, ride height, suspension set up and geometry.

Beyond creating the perfect chassis and ride set up, each owner has the oppprtunity to work with our design and engineering team to impart their own unique character into their machine. Every component on the Lightspeed can be customised for aesthetic colour and material changes.

A range of hard part options are also possible, for example, full titanium race exhaust system, lightweight spoked/wire wheels and pillion seat.
