Due to consumer demand for a more economical Heretic, ECOSSE Moto Works has decided to offer a limited series of its flagship product with alternate components and functionality. The new version embodies similar characteristics that define the unique Heretic including the look, feel and sound.

“We receive a lot of calls from people who love the machine but can’t afford it,” says Don Atchison, ECOSSE Founder and Designer. “We’re also inundated with inquiries from customers and builders for rolling chassis, frames and other components.”

ECOSSE struggled with these requests. “We couldn’t justify allotting one of the coveted serial numbers for a chassis purchase,” Atchison explains. “And, more importantly, nothing bolts right on to our chassis. We have designed, tested, developed and manufactured hundreds of parts specifically for The Heretic that work in unison with this highly engineered machine. Therefore, even the most competent fabricator could easily spend over $100,000 and countless hours trying to build parts to work with the chassis. So we decided to set aside a fraction of the 100 Heretic serial numbers and offer an alternate version instead.”

This new version has a similar appearance and bite but features alternate components and less personalization/adjustability than the original.” For instance, the new model’s chassis is available in one color scheme and does not offer the three riding modes or the modular foot-control setup. Options are also kept to a minimum.

It will be priced at $49,800. On the other end of the spectrum, a titanium-framed version is also being built. Check out all their bikes at www.ecossemoto.com.
