BANDIT9 UNVEILS SLEEKER EVE ODYSSEY WITH UPGRADED MATERIALS & MILEAGE
The Bandit9 EVE Odyssey is one of the most extraordinary custom motorcycles ever conceived: a hand-formed sculpture in space-grade aluminium that is simultaneously a museum-exhibited art object and a road-legal machine. Born from the Saigon workshop of Bandit9, a studio that has defined the intersection of sculptural art and motorcycle engineering, the EVE Odyssey distils the brand's philosophy into its purest form, strictly limited to 9 units worldwide, each built individually over a three-month production period.
What Is the Bandit9 EVE Odyssey?
The EVE Odyssey is built on a Honda Supersport 125cc platform, chosen for its mechanical simplicity and compact proportions. Around that mechanically humble base, Bandit9 constructs an entirely bespoke bodywork in 7075 aluminium: the same alloy used in missile and aerospace applications, including NASA shuttle structures, and chosen specifically for its combination of high tensile strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The entire aluminium fuselage is brush-finished by hand, giving each unit its distinctive matte metallic surface that shifts with light and angle.
The concept traces a direct line to Constantin Brancusi's Bird in Flight sculptures: an obsession with reducing form to its essential, aerodynamic core. The result has been recognised at the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Haas Moto Museum, and the Barber Motorcycle Museum, three of the most significant collections in the world.
Specifications and Engineering
The air-cooled, four-stroke 125cc engine delivers an estimated 156 miles per gallon, and the EVE Odyssey reaches a top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph). Transmission is a 4-speed manual with semi-automatic option, and the fuel tank holds 8 litres. The complete machine weighs approximately 265 lb (120 kg). Key details include an integrated exhaust system routed cleanly within the bodywork, a digital LED speedometer, and steel-milled switches finished to the same precise standard as the aluminium body panels.
As Bandit9's official product page confirms, each unit is individually commissioned, and lead times range from six to twelve months. Pricing is available only through direct engagement with a Bandit9 specialist, reflecting the bespoke nature of every build.
EVE Odyssey V2: Sleeker, Lighter, Longer Range
The updated EVE Odyssey V2, covered by HiConsumption at its reveal, refines the original with upgraded material sourcing and improved fuel efficiency. The V2 maintains the defining geometry but trims proportions for a more needle-like profile, and engineering refinements extend the per-tank range. The core production philosophy remains unchanged: nine units, built by hand, finished by eye.
