CCM Heritage 71

1971 – IT ALL BEGAN WITH A PASSION TO WIN

A young motorcycle racer, Alan Clews, would ride to work on his motorcycle dreaming of competing in scrambling and trials at the weekend. Alan was a talented rider but needed a better bike so set about building his own. It was so good that his club-mates wanted one too. Bike racers became bike builders, and Clews Competition Machines were born.

Any motorcycle that bears our founding father’s signature has to be very special. Using the same gorgeous trellis frame that underpins the striking Spitfire range, this very limited edition machine has been designed using a range of components exclusive to this stunning machine. This machine is unmistakably CCM. It lifts any pre-conceived impressions to a new level. Our most striking bike to date, every component has been carefully considered to create a motorcycle that Alan would have been truly proud of. The unique “Heritage 71” paint finish uses subtle tones to create a stylish rendition of the Union flag and the same colour palette is carried from the carbon headlight cowl to the machined tailpiece.

LIMITED TO JUST 71 INDIVIDUALLY HAND BUILT MOTORCYCLES

The signature frame contrasts beautifully in anodic champagne, drawing the eye to the stunning twin exhausts, created from 64 separate stainless steel segments leading to a pair of stylish titanium silencers.

Your attention is instantly drawn to the bespoke 7-spoke Dymag race wheels, specially commissioned and optimized to shave 6kg off the unsprung weight. Complementing the sporting pedigree of the wheels, the fully adjustable suspension comes courtesy of Ohlins Blackline, with powerful twin-disc Brembo braking to match the chassis’ capability.

The riding position is pure CCM, relaxed but ready for fun, with a beautifully hand-sculpted single saddle, trimmed with the finest semi-aniline hide in Beluga with contrasting gold perforations. The luxurious perch sits atop a machined block of aircraft-grade aluminium, bearing the signature of the original master bike builder himself, the late Alan Clews. A unique enamel heritage badge completes the tailpiece.

CCM has brought together some of our finest suppliers to create a motorcycle worthy of our golden jubilee and the memory of our founding father.

Inspired by a bygone era of British motorcycles, and the machine ridden by the legendary TE Lawrence, his beloved Brough Superior. With its elegant hand-stitched luggage panniers and vintage front show-plate, the bike gives an unmistakable nod to the pride and joy of Lawrence of Arabia.

Taking further styling cues from the original Supermarine Spitfire prototype, the light blue colour scheme mirrors that of Spitfire K5054, built in 1936.

Invasion stripes, as used in D-Day landings wrap around the tank, and even the extended carbon fibre mudguard tips have the same chromium yellow taken from the original Spitfire propeller design.

Further attention to detail can be found behind the plush, floating saddle, where the signature of Sydney Hennan, father of CCM founder Gail Clews, who lost his life serving in the RAF, is inscribed in the machined alloy seat base.

Whilst thoroughly modern in design and efficiency, the power behind this unique motorcycle comes from the same characterful 600cc single cylinder motor used across all Spitfire variants endowing this very special variant with a timeless feel. CCM’s signature artisan trellis frame provides the underpinnings for this exclusive model.

Just 100 of these exquisite bikes will be hand-built to commemorate 100 years since the formation of the Royal Air Force.
