YOU WERE BORN IN THE TUCKED POSITION.
YOU WERE BORN IN THE TUCKED POSITION.
Those winglets create 1.6 times more downforce. You'll need them to keep you grounded when you find the limits of this all-new engine. The 450cc parallel twin features a 270° crankshaft angle, giving it a torque curve, power output, and sound profile more like that of a V-twin. These engine characteristics also contribute to better rear wheel traction under acceleration. If the engine is one reason to love this bike, just wait until you hear about the Brembo brakes, multi-link rear suspension, and reverse shifting option. Who is this bike made for? Anyone and everyone born in the tucked position.
HIGHLIGHTS:
ENGINE
Here's a 50-hp wake-up call to every 500-class sport bike. This in-house developed, compact, 450cc, parallel-twin, DOHC engine is built to take the lead. The all-new design is characterized by a 270° crankshaft angle. Precision-engineered double balance shafts effectively counteract the inherent vibrations of a parallel-twin engine, ensuring smooth operation across the rev band. Here are the stats: 50 hp @ 9500 rpm. 28.8 lb-ft torque @ 7600 rpm. Bosch® EFI.
BRAKES
Continental ABS continuously adjusts braking pressure to each wheel individually, allowing for precise and effective deceleration while avoiding wheel lock up. Up front a 4-piston Brembo® caliper bites down on a 320mm, single floating disc. The floating design allows the disc to expand and contract, reducing the risk of warping or deformation. The rear brake features a 220mm single disc with a single piston caliper.
SUSPENSION
A sport-oriented front and rear suspension system provides exceptional stability and control. The rear swing arm and rear suspension are connected by a multi-link structure inspired by professional superbikes. This distributes forces and reduces rear-end squat and suspension compression, improving stability and control especially when pushing the limits.
