Odin: The 2012 Avenger 220 Reimagined
Odin’s creation was a labor of love and precision by our team, an ambitious journey that unfolded over 16 months to transform a 2012 Avenger 220 into a masterpiece of custom design and engineering. Named after the Norse god, Odin was envisioned to embody strength, wisdom, and versatility, qualities that were meticulously woven into every aspect of its customization.
19-Inch Front Wheel and Mono Shock Rear Suspension: The foundation of Odin’s enhanced riding experience lies in its upgraded 19-inch front wheel paired with a mono shock rear suspension system. This combination was chosen for its superior stability and smoother ride quality, a significant leap from the original setup. Implementing these changes required a deep dive into the bike’s dynamics to ensure that the modifications improved handling without compromising the integrity of the ride.
Custom Swing Arm and Cobra Titanium Exhaust: A new swing arm was crafted for Odin, a modification that not only improved its handling but also allowed for the integration of the mono shock suspension. The addition of a free-flow Cobra titanium exhaust system was more than just an aesthetic choice; it was about amplifying Odin’s performance, offering a notable increase in power output and a throaty, commanding sound.
Expanded Fuel Capacity and Braking System: Upgrading Odin’s fuel capacity with a new 25-liter tank was a strategic move to extend its range while enhancing the bike’s profile. The braking system was overhauled with a new front disc and a rear drum setup, ensuring that the increased performance could be matched with reliable stopping power. New alloy wheels were added to complement the bike’s sleek appearance and improve its overall ride quality.
Ergonomic Handlebar and Strategic Instrumentation: Comfort was a key focus in Odin’s transformation, addressed with the introduction of a tall-set handlebar for an ergonomic riding posture. The instrumentation cluster was repositioned atop the fuel tank, a unique customization that combined convenience with style. Custom mirrors added to the bike’s edgy aesthetic, completing the look.
Advanced Suspension, Seating, and Lighting: The front suspension was upgraded to an upside-down fork, a significant enhancement that not only improved Odin’s handling but also contributed to its aggressive stance. The solo leather seat underscored the bike’s bespoke nature, marrying comfort with style. A new LED headlamp and tail lamp unit, along with seamlessly integrated rear indicators, enhanced visibility and added a modern touch to Odin’s design.
Practical Upgrades for Enhanced Performance: Odin’s customization extended to practical features like Cree fog lamps for improved visibility in adverse conditions and a 12-volt USB phone charger for on-the-go connectivity. A free-flow air filter system was installed to ensure better pickup and overall performance, emphasizing Odin’s readiness for both urban landscapes and adventurous terrains.
Riding Odin for the first time was an experience that transcended mere transportation; it was about feeling the power of innovation and craftsmanship beneath you. Every modification, from the ground-up rebuild of the suspension to the thoughtful integration of modern conveniences, was a testament to our team’s dedication to creating a motorcycle that was not only a joy to ride but also a standout piece of custom art.
Crafting Odin was a journey of relentless pursuit of perfection. With every weld and modification, we elevated the Avenger 220 to new heights of power and performance. Odin isn’t just a bike; it’s a testament to our dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible in custom motorcycle design. Riding Odin isn’t just a thrill; it’s an experience of unrivaled power and innovation.
