ARMEC SIDEWINDER


Enjoy the best of all worlds - Experience leaning into and out of curves just like on a solo motorcycle and then add all the advantages of having a high-tech sidecar outfit. Yes, the ARMEC Sidewinder is driven just like a solo bike, free leaning left or right as the road demands while sidecar and passenger stay perfectly horizontal.

The sidecar body is made of hi-tech impact absorbent hand-laid fiberglass for the ultimate in passenger safety. A 20.5" wide full adult seat (2 children step seat as an option) as well as the fully velvet lined carpeted interior provide for the highest passenger comfort on long trips.

A 125ltr. lockable trunk behind the seat gives plenty of  store capacity for all those items that just don't fit into the saddlebag anymore.

The ARMEC independent suspension is supported by a gas shock absorber and a progressive link system with fully variable adjustments. Result: perfect rider balance and a smooth and comfortable ride for your passenger.

The aluminum alloy sidecar wheel features a fully integrated hydraulic brake, as well as an optional parking brake.

The sidecar chassis consists of a tubular steel frame TIG welded, stress free annealed, sanded and epoxy powder coated. This tough powder coat and the use of aircraft quality stainless steel fasteners ensure a great looking and great performing setup for years to come.

The chromed roll-bar affixed directly to the frame provides not only full functionality it also adds to the overall absolutely stunning aesthetic profile of the whole setup.

Yes and just in case, for those solo riding days or if you have limited garage space, you can disconnect the sidecar from the bike in less than 15 minutes. The support frame simply stays on the motorcycle without affecting the solo performance at all.

With the ARMEC Sidewinder you have the best of all worlds: a hi-tech ARMEC quality sidecar and then also your solo-bike.
