While it won't come close to breaking the sound barrier higher than average top speeds than conventional motorcycles could be possible on the Tomahawk. What's its advantage? Other than its world class displacement, Dodge's two-wheeler actually boasts four wheels wrapped in four thick Dunlop tires, P120/60R20s on the front and P150/50R20s at the rear, mounted on an obviously unconventional suspension system.

Up front, polished billet aluminum single-sided parallel upper and lower control arms are mounted via ball joints to aluminum steering uprights and hubs. A single, fully adjustable centrally located coil-over damper joins a pullrod and rocker-actuated mono linkage and center-lock racing-style hubs to complete the package.

The rear suspension incorporates hand-fabricated box-section steel inboard swing arms, plus a "hydral-link" lockable recirculating hydraulic circuit parking stand. A single fully adjustable centrally located Koni coil-over damper and pushrod and rocker-actuated mono linkage connect through to center-lock racing-style hubs.
The Tomahawk's dual center hub steering system incorporates a rocker arm and push/pull rod linkage with roller bearings. A polished billet aluminum steering yoke with turned aluminum grips and billet levers looks as stunning as it reportedly works.
