“Tron: Legacy” was a visual feast, but the absolutely best thing about the movie (aside from Olivia Wilde in skintight leather) was that awesome aerodynamic ride… which might also describe Olivia Wilde. The Light Cycle has been brought out of the Grid and into the real world, and it looks just as butt-kicking awesome as ever.
This isn’t some cosplay toy that just sits around and looks pretty. The Light Cycle is a street-legal motorcycle that lights up the night with the electroluminescent strips built into the tire cowlings, wheel rims, and body, as you go for a slow ride-by or a casual cruise. It’s made from a steel frame with a fiberglass cowling that replicates the movie version’s sleek look, and it’s powered by a fuel-injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine.
You’ll be the king of the Grid as you put the 6-speed constant mesh manual transmission through its paces – laying at a near-horizontal position on the padded leather seat, enjoying the pull of acceleration delivered by a chain-driven friction drum, while you control acceleration and braking from the handlebars.
Enter the world of Tron with one of these built-to-order bikes for $55,000 and transform yourself into a real-world digital gladiator.
