Langen Motorcycles are invited to participate in The Festival of Speed at Goodwood 13th-16th July
Posted on
- Langen Motorcycles have, once again, been invited to ride the stunning Two Stroke up the iconic hill at this year’s Festival of Speed.
- Leading journalists, influencers and racers have been scrambling for the handful of places available to ride the Langen Two Stroke at the most prestigious event on the automotive calendar.
- Chris Ratcliffe, the CEO of Langen, is keeping tight-lipped as to who he has allocated the rides.
- The Langen Two Stroke will make two appearances a day across the four days of the festival.
Langen Technology Limited (Langen), one of the leading automotive engineering and development companies specialising in low volume motorcycles, will once again be making an appearance at the Festival of Speed. Each day two lucky people will have the opportunity to crack open the throttle and experience the thrill of riding this beautiful, hand built 90° V-Twin Cylinder 2-stroke machine up the twisting course in front of the crowds at Goodwood.
Since unveiling the first two custom personalised machines to their recipients at the NEC’s Motorcycle Live event in November 2022, there has been a steady stream of deliveries to customers of the limited edition Langen Two Stroke.
What makes this motorcycle unique is the intoxicating 250cc V-twin engine combined with the focus on simplicity, the reduction in weight using modern technology and materials, along with the use of components of the highest quality. Modern design meets Great British traditional craftsmanship.
Being born as a side project in the Ferrari factory, the first version of the V-Twin was realised in 2014 by Vincenzo Mattia as a brutal GP race engine delivering 95bhp. The patented fuel injection and ECU controlled lubrication system have enabled Langen and Vins to develop the purebred V-Twin into a durable, controllable engine which meets modern emissions regulations. The well-mannered power delivery allows a predictable ride with endless, addictive torque on tap. Take the needle upwards of 9,000 rpm for an experience like nothing else on the road.
Drawing on a wealth of experience and expertise, Langen pride themselves on producing a whole motorcycle package which can not only contend on the race-track but also provides a confidence inspiring and unequalled ride on the road.
Langen’s specialism echoes the great Colin Chapman “simplify then add lightness”. Relentless design, testing and optimisation of every component and system on the bike enables The Two Stroke to weigh in at an incredible 120kg translating to over 600bhp/tonne. The aluminium space-frame chassis provides the optimum stiffness, weight and geometry to give incredible cornering speeds, change of direction with reassuring stability, at 130mph.
Christofer Ratcliffe Founder and CEO of Langen comments: “We are delighted to be back at Festival of Speed, it gives a premium, niche manufacturer like us the opportunity to showcase this stunning motorcycle to a knowledgeable and appreciative crowd.
We are constantly inundated with requests from journalists, influencers, and industry professionals to review and ride The Two Stroke and we have hand-picked the people we think will do it justice to offer them this exclusive opportunity.
Our customers who have already been in receipt of their bikes report only one problem – every journey is extended due to the large crowds the Langen draws wherever it goes and the constant stream of interesting questions from admirers.
At Langen we believe that “cars move the body, yet motorcycles move the soul” - it demonstrates the intangible and unmatched human experience of riding and owning a Langen. Where better to demonstrate this than at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023.
