DARK RUNNER

The **DARK RUNNER** is a superbike manufactured somewhere in Rutherland by a secretive automotive corporation known as Gluke Motors. It serves as PSYLOCKE-832's primary vehicle in her crusade and personal use.

## Overview

The DARK RUNNER is well-known for its aerodynamic look, perfect controls and incredible speed. It has a top speed of 558 mph (898 km/hr.) but recommends staying around 300 mph for optimal handling. Its 16-valve liquid-cooled engine and 6-speed transmission system produce 3497 horsepower with fluid mesh. It has solid strut forged wheels with brakes and rotor assembly inside the wheel face. Dura-Polymeric technology eliminates hydroplaning while also ensuring durability for both on and off-road pursuits. Optional radial glow lighting. COA X-series tracking technology, which is embedded in the DR-8 tail unit, improves remote balancing and navigation while enabling in-motion repairs. The pilotless riding function is activated using the override switch.

The bike is armoured with massive protective shells constructed of Graphene-Nevium composite that are rated for blast and bullet resistance. The bike combines graphene's reactive nature with a Liquid-Vekron-Nevium augmented exoskeleton that is individually form-fitted to the rider. The bodywork is made of COA-X, which is a liquid metal reinforced with graphene and synthesised obsidian.

Summoned through nanotechnology, the DARK RUNNER materializes at the rider's command, vanishing or appearing in the blink of an eye. This feature not only enhances its survivability but also complements the swift and elusive nature of PSYLOCKE-832's operations.

## Trivia

### General

* The superbike program's designation was "DR-8E1V".
* The DARK RUNNER epitomizes the fusion of cutting-edge technology, speed, and stealth, making it an indispensable asset for PSYLOCKE-832 in her missions. From its aerodynamic excellence to the advanced armor and nanotech summoning, this superbike is a true marvel of engineering, perfectly aligned with the needs of its elite rider.
* The DARK RUNNER, with its state-of-the-art design and advanced features, stands as a testament to Gluke Motors' commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive technology. As PSYLOCKE-832's trusted companion, it embodies speed, stealth, and unparalleled performance on the roads of Rutherland.
* 832's DARK RUNNER has been shelved ever since she retired. This means no one has ever seen it ever again, nor do Winslow Systems revived the design for their failed attempt of having someone to take over the PSYLOCKE-832 codename.
* DARK RUNNER was the final codename for the vehicle. Reports confirm that there are only three built, by Gluke Motors.
* PSYLOCKE-832 was paid 1.4 billion credits in order to give her a personal vehicle, this was the only, but ultimately a perfect choice.
* This bike is responsible for giving her the nickname of "nightrider" which perfectly suited her operations.
* PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM would be amused by its speed.
* PROJECT has attempted to replicate its design.
* Rumours claim that Rebel Rose attempted to steal one, but it was a futile effort.
