The Fighter Model (also known currently as the F37) is smaller than a Stealth Bomber and does not have gears but instead operates a two speed schlumpf that is clicked on and off, by the riders heel. The weight of the bike is around 10-15kg lighter ( so it weighs 40-45kgs) than the Bomber and presents itself as a more nimble option for single track and trail riding. It runs on 24×3 rims and tyres.
We decided to purchase an older second hand Fighter model and heavily modify it to make it EBMX worthy.
The upgraded parts included:
Kelly Sinewave KLS7218S programmable controller which works extremely well with the Crystallite motors. All stealth fighters are not built with Sinewave controllers so they are a little noisy with the square wave technology. This particular controller made this bike silent and deadly!
UFO Crystallite Motor with hubsinks and ferro fluid fitted ( this particular EBMX Fighter was the first Stealth Fighter in the world to have the new Bomber UFO motor fitted to it – in late 2018). The weight of this beast of a motor is around 10kgs and needs 162mm front axle drop outs.
Previously we had ‘cooked’ the smaller Fighter 4080 motor with the increased battery voltage and amps… but even running 120-150amps through the motor continuously on our Xtreme Stealth Fighter, there has never been a problem and it will tackle and conquer any hill with ease and barely get hot with continuous hard riding with the UFO Motor.
