The 2012 X-132 Hellcat takes its name from the legendary WWII F6F Hellcat fighter plane and reflects the same spirit of power, precision, and American engineering excellence.
This motorcycle is the result of an uncompromising approach to design, craftsmanship, and performance.
Building on the distinctive drag-race inspired architecture of the first and second-generation models, the third-generation Confederate X-132 Hellcat pushes the platform even further. It combines innovative engineering with avant-garde design to deliver one of the most unique American V-Twin motorcycles ever produced.
American Thunder Engineering
At the heart of the X-132 Hellcat is its billet aluminum engine case. Instead of relying on traditional casting, the case is precision-machined from two solid blocks of 6061 aircraft-grade billet aluminum. This advanced manufacturing method unites leading American V-Twin technology with state-of-the-art powertrain engineering, resulting in exceptional strength and durability.
While this material choice and production process are costly, they provide superior rigidity, longevity, and performance—something casting simply cannot match. The result is a motorcycle built to last and engineered to be ridden hard.
An Heirloom-Quality American Motorcycle
The Confederate X-132 Hellcat is created as an heirloom machine, designed to be owned, cherished, and handed down. Every component—from the billet aluminum engine case to the stainless steel hardware—reflects obsessive attention to detail and premium quality.
Each motorcycle is hand-built with its own distinct personality and character, brought to life with striking presence and intense visual identity. The Hellcat is not simply a motorcycle; it is a functional piece of mechanical art.
Philosophy and Design Without Compromise
Every X-132 Hellcat is designed around principles of uncompromised engineering and pure individuality. Confederate’s philosophy is grounded in principled, objective individualism—machines built with purpose, authenticity, and mechanical honesty.
Simply put, the X-132 Hellcat stands among the most substantial American road motorcycles ever built, combining raw power, bold design, and precision-machined components into a singular, unforgettable machine.
