Ariel Atom 4 car and Ace motorbike thrashed by Shakey and Jonny. Welcome to our first episode of Byrne Out. Our ALL NEW two-wheel playlist. We wanted to kick off the Byrne Out bike content with a brand who makes both cars and motorbikes – breaking you 4-wheeled nuts in gently - but somehow Suzuki and Honda seemed too obvious, and their cars might be a tad tame/safe for six time British Superbike legend Shakey Byrne. After all, we're talking about a bloke who isn't fazed about brake failure at 140mph. Welcome aboard The Late Brake Show. Why not subscribe? The Ariel Atom 4 has been out 18 months or more now, and this latest incarnation of the banzai track-focused road car looks much the same as the previous version, but it is in fact all new. New tubing (thicker, stiffer construction and slightly wider cockpit), the first Atom to carry a turbocharged motor (from the current Honda Civic Type R), different suspension and different nose cone design. However, we first set Shakey off on the Ariel Ace motorbike demonstrator, which showcased Ariel's historic girder style mins in Shakey was pulling the throttle wide upon exiting Ariel HQ and the Ariel employees all stopped in their tracks when they heard him rocket up the road.
