The 2nd generation light cycle was designed by Kevin Flynn in 1983 and was the fastest light cycle ever made, so much so that no meer program could ride it and only Sam Flynn, Quorra and Anon seemed skilled enough to do so. It is reputed to have been Kevin's original light cycle, having been copied over from the ENCOM servers and customized. The second generation light cycle is succeeded by three more generations of light cycles, yet is still claimed to be "the fastest thing on the Grid". Quorra refers to it as "vintage".
The second generation light cycle has the hallmark thick wheeled look common to all light cycles, however it differs from other lightcycles in the TRON System in several ways. It had a covered canopy that hinged open to allow rider access through the top. It also appears to be able to travel off the Grid without trouble. Its white color scheme contrasts starkly with the black and color-lit designs of all other vehicles in the system. The most notable feature is that unlike the original lightcycle and the newer incarnations, this lightcycle is persistent and does not require a rod or baton to generate it.
At Quorra's urging, Sam steals Kevin's lightcycle from his his father's Safehouse and heads into TRON City to find the End of Line Club and a program named Zuse. His journey attracts Clu's attention, although Sam manages to temporarily throw him off the light cycle's trail by passing it to another program upon arriving in the city. By capturing and analysing the lightcycle, Clu's forces are then able to uncover the location of Kevin's safehouse.
