Quoted from Rideapart, June 12, Audette Velos is not only a custom motorcycle, but also limited production only serves orders for a maximum of 20 units per year. Velos is essentially built based on the Indian Thunder Stroke 111 engine, and Audette deliberately chooses the 2016 version. The reason is, because it can be equipped with Bosch's fuel injection, it is proven to be a powerful and reliable machine, without complicated electronic features as found in subsequent models.

However, Velos does not use its standard engine but is modified with Carrillo and Wiseco Forged Pistons connecting rods. The engine capacity is increased to 131 cubic inches, about 2,150cc, with a higher compression ratio, 11:1. As a result, the engine produces about 130 dk of power and 200,69 Nm of torque with echoing sound through the Toce disposal system.

Velos is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox paired with the Recluse aftermarket coupling. In addition, engine belt drivers are replaced with more durable chains. These large machines are placed in frames made of high-power aluminium class aircraft. Installation of the machine that precision in this framework reflects Audette's expertise, providing a maximum weight gain and a compact dimension. In fact, aluminum-made a beam arms give the impression that this bike is suitable for super bike racing tracks.

In terms of suspension, Audette Velos is equipped with the best available technology. The inverse science group Race Tech in front can be adjusted as needed. Likewise with the back absorber shock. Velos drove on top of the luxury carbon wheel BST brand from South Africa, Galfer disc disk disk disk disk and Beringer caliber.

This motorcycle fuel tank has a capacity of 15 liters, Velos only weighs 210 kilograms, making it one of the motorcycles with the lightest weight in its class.

Now with all the advantages, this custom bike also has a fairly high price. For one unit, Audette Velos costs US $ 125,000 or around Rp. 1.8 billion.
