Swiss tuner Mansory, known for its extreme customisation programs involving over the top ‘quantities’ of carbon fiber is stepping away from four-wheeled machines for a moment, and introduces the Zapico custom bike.
The MANSORY Zapico Custom Bike was developed in collaboration with Thomas M Geroge, and features a wide range of carbon components which include a front mask, bug spoiler, seat module, primary shield, and silencer.
The MANSORY Zapico Custom Bike has also received applications on the fuel tank, frame, fork, wheel rims and airbox. Power is extracted from a 124 cubi inch V2 engine developing 160 HP, thanks to which the MANSORY Zapico Custom Bike, which weights 340 Kg, can accelerate from 0 to 100 Km/h in 3.3 seconds.

MANSORY Zapico custom bike
It’s not only for four-wheeled luxury vehicles that the top-quality range from high-end manufacturer MANSORY has received awards; its genuine custom bike is famous too. This is shown most impressively by the MANSORY bike Zapico, developed in collaboration with bike customiser Thomas M. George.
The hand of company boss Kourosh Mansory is plain to see: the finest carbon, most lavishly processed, decorates the impressive-looking cruiser while the front mask, bug spoiler, seat module, primary shield and silencer as well as the applications on the fuel tank, the frame, fork, wheel rims and airbox all originate from the MANSORY factory in the town of Brand in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria. The bike’s leatherwork is further testament to the exquisite craftsmanship applied – unmistakeably MANSORY.
The custom bike is driven by a powerful 124 cubic inch (around 2,080 cm³) V2 engine made by the well-known American engine manufacturer S&S. This large two-cylinder engine delivers a full 160 hp to the extra-large rear tyres and can accelerate the 340 kg bike from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds.
Company owner and namesake Kourosh Mansory and his team have been customising exclusive car brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche and Rolls Royce since 1989. MANSORY stands for high-tech production combined with master craftsmanship and the finest materials. Harmoniously designed aerodynamics packages, ultra-light aluminium wheel rims and powerful engine performance upgrades form the basis of the company’s technology range. Top-quality accessories and stylish interiors complete the range.
With a workforce of over 80 people, MANSORY can fulfil almost any motoring wish for its discerning customers. In Germany, Switzerland and, through its select sales partners, all over the world.
