CCM Stealth Six

CCM (Clews Competition Machines) introduced the new 2020 Stealth Series. 

Exuding understated style and class, the Stealth series of Bobber, Foggy FT and Spitfire SIX share the same artisan trellis frame, this time in a rich bronze powder coated finish, complemented by the sculpted tank cloaked in deep, Midnight Black paint and highlighted with racing stripes using the same rich bronze tones.

Stylish, machined alloy rims complete the look of these ultra-limited-edition versions of the highly sought-after Spitfire series of hand-built motorcycles.

Stealth Six

Slightly different to other models, the Six has no specific styling theme and has been created to really give Spitfire owners more autonomy over how their bike should look and feel.

Built on the same foundations of all other variants, the Six still has a powerful 600cc single and the popular artisan hand-welded trellis frame, however now you can choose to have the frames painted if you wish.

Looking at the design, you may be able to see hints of our Bobber, with a floating seat, and notes of the original Spitfire, in terms of riding position and exhausts. You can choose from a selection of tank colour options, pre-exisiting seat styles and even personalise the annodised colours throughout the bike.

The Spitfire Six is a bike where you’re in contol and one that celebrates your individuality.

You select the parts you love, and we’ll make it happen.

CCM Motorcycles prepare to celebrate their Golden Jubilee, however back in the late 1960s, keen motorcyclist Alan Clews just loved to ride.

During the week, he would use his bike to get to work at the family newsagents then. When the weekend arrived, he would compete in trials and scramble events with some success.

To be the best, he approached BSA to secure a works machine, but when they refused. He set about building himself the best competition bike he could in his shed. He would never get to ride a bike as other keen riders clamoured and subsequent motorcycle builds.

The seeds of Clews Competition Machines were present. And CCM Motorcycles as it would become more widely known. Went on to compete at the highest level internationally in motorcycle sport.

A new direction

As a niche manufacturer, finding the right distribution was always going to be an issue. So CCM decided to take their bikes direct which allowed customer and builder to communicate.

Customers could see their bikes are built, and CCM could get beneficial feedback from their customers.

The biggest concern for the customer as if they lived in farthest corners of the UK. How would they get service and warranty support?

Well, if tyre retailers could fit a car with new rubber on the driveway. Then why couldn’t bikes be serviced at home or place of work?

CCM set about recruiting a crack team of former MX Grand Prix mechanics. And they now cover the whole of mainland UK in their mobile workshops.

A taste of adventure

In 2014, CCM launched their ground-breaking lightweight adventure bike, the GP450. It was so radically different from the big capacity machines dominated the market. It took a while for riders to appreciate its potential as a global explorer.

However, once people recognized its potential as a “go anywhere” machine. The bike gained a loyal following, and they continue to carry budding explorers on their adventures.

Sadly, it was the introduction of new emission regulations put paid to the super lightweight machine. And while a replacement arrives, CCM would need a stop-gap model.

Serendipitously, the workshop team were discussing what they’d like to build in their sheds at home over the Friday morning bacon sandwich.

CCM’s chief designer was present and was inspired by what he heard and took these creative seeds back to his CAD machine. CCM had found their “stop-gap” model, but little did they know where this would lead them.

Spitfire – Birth of a legend

This new bike was a two-wheeled revolution, at a time when motorcycles were becoming more prominent and heavier. And their designs cluttered with plastic boxes and trims and increasingly more complex with multiple ECU and sensors.

The Spitfire was a breath of fresh air as it featured a stunning hand-built artisan trellis frame. Which endowed the machine with a simple, uncluttered form; it was motorcycling
