KH (Fieldmaste­r) 498cc ohv twin || 390lb || 65mpg || 90mph || 1948-58

-

A sweet touring twin with a motor unique to the model utilising two chain-driven cams, an unusual pushrod arrangemen­t and a one-piece crankshaft. The plot was fitted into standard Ariel single cycle parts. The low production numbers mean engine spares can be hard to find, and the bikes are quite a rare sight these days. The 1953-only all-alloy KHA is the rarest and will cost more. Available with rigid, Anstey link plunger or swinging arm frames.
