Bandit9 hops on the space-game wagon. It won’t be sending its motorcycle up into the void – at least not for now – but it toys with the materials NASA spacecraft uses, one in specific. The revamped EVE ODYSSEY adopts the space-grade aluminum used by NASA for its rocket designs. The glint it gives off may reflect the same properties of aluminum space rockets are enveloped with. More than the material, EVE ODYSSEY captures attention with its unibody form, styled like a bullet on the loose.
Bandit9 describes EVE ODYSSEY as a bringer of order to complexity. It does so by enclosing the motorcycle’s entire lighting system, steering, gas tank, and seat into a single aluminum body. The design team scoops part of the aluminum for the seating positioned next to its tail end. The no-fuss motorcycle design means a singular L-bent aluminum connects the rear tire to the seating. Its visual element shifts as aluminum tubes tie up the front tire to EVE ODYSSEY’s upper frame.
Unibody motorcycle with custom parts
Bandit9 says that EVE ODYSSEY’s electric version is underway. In the meantime, a 125cc engine makes the motorcycle run and can reach freeway speeds at 65 mph (100 kmh). The design team though wants the focus to be on its range which boasts 156 miles (250 km) per gallon, enough to reach the edge of space and back. A custom digital LED Display displays the speed of the ride, and a choice between leather or neoprene is offered for the custom saddle.
Bandit9 also fits its unibody motorcycle with custom handlebars, grips, levers, controls, mirrors, headlights, brake light, and signal. Futurism glances back at EVE ODYSSEY to make sure the unibody motorcycle is following in its footsteps. From the bullet body frame to several customizations chucked in the mix, the reimagined edition of Bandit9’s ride revs to future homes, now that the company has opened the pool of pre-orders for it on its website plus complimentary graving for those who want to name their EVE ODYSSEY.
A little more seat padding, please

Not my style at all.
The flying suppository.
Where am I supposed to ride this? To work? For fun? Racing? Enduro? Moto GP? Long Distance?
I can’t see a single use for this POS. It’s not even pretty!
Mighty sleek design for a putt-putt.
Bingo! Something was trying to suggest itself to me when looking at the pic. “Flying suppository” crystallized it.
Yeah, I cannot see doing any sort of long road trip on that.
>> The flying suppository.
I was struggling to articulate why even thinking about riding that thing makes me, well, *uncomfortable*. You nailed it.
90cc of an ugly stick in your butt.
Big Deal! Some European motorcycle companies built bikes with all-aluminum monocoque frames about 60 years ago.
Mud-covered back -- with a triangular clean streak up his spine...
“complimentary graving”!
I don’t know why but it reminds me of an insect!
Mosquito?🤔

With one of those new-fangled drum rear brakes!
