The Damon Hypersport features high-end components, including Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes. Power is derived from a 20 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack, and the Hypersport also has claimed acceleration figures of 0 to 100 kmph in under three seconds. The CoPilot system, which is essentially the advanced rider warning system, uses a platform created by telecom giant BlackBerry, combined with cameras and non-visual sensors to track the speed, direction and velocity of many objects at a time around the motorcycle. The signals sent by the sensors are then processed by onboard computers to anticipate threats of a collision or accident and warn the rider through LED warning lights, haptic alerts, or visually on a rear view mirror.
