Supercharged KTM 520 by Hazan Motorworks

.  

This incredible supercharged KTM 520 was build by the master builder Max Hazan, who says “There was no intention of making something practical”.

He used a KTM 520cc 4-stroke engine, and then he mounted an AMR350 supercharger that adds 300cc of induction air per revolution. With 8lbs of boost and 110-octane race gas, the KTM now produces 85 horses at the crank.

Utilizing the board-tracker style, the frame features a rigid rear end and a unique springer front end. 

Because practicality was not a priority, the KTM received only 1 disc brake, and it’s not on either of the wheels. Instead, it’s an inbound unit that slows the drivetrain.   Hand-made wheels utilize very uncommon radial spokes laced through flangeless hubs, with the rear wheel sporting a particularly daring arrangement.

The bike is very minimalist in terms of bodywork – with only a hand-built gas tank made from 6061 aluminum, a wooden saddle, and chrome fenders.  It has an overall wet weight of only 245 lbs / 111kg.

The radiator utilizes sections of the frame to transport vital fluids between components.

The supercharged KTM 520 is forsure not practical or road legal.

Max Hazan said: “It is what it is—something I wanted to make for the sake of making something. It goes and stops and puts a smile on my face.”
