01.Set the mark

A bi-LED module in the fairing and an adaptive brake light, an 8.8" TFT with telemetry and offline navigation, and MotoGP-derived bodywork in two colours.

3 features

800 lm, 200 m

LED headlight

A dynamic, lightweight bi-LED module integrated into the fairing with little compromise to airflow: 800 lm on low beam, up to 200 m on high — for long ride-outs, endurance nights or looming backmarkers. An adaptive rear light reveals braking force to whoever is behind.

8.8", split screen

TFT display & connectivity

The 8.8" landscape TFT that set the benchmark, redesigned for intuitive use and Ready to Race on track. Split-screen formats show music, calls, telemetry — lean angle, acceleration, throttle position — offline GPS navigation and every mode and setting, on an anti-reflex, anti-glare, anti-fingerprint screen.

8.8"TFT

RC16 genes

Bodywork

Mask shape, belly wings and front wings from the MotoGP RC16: striking to look at, and working for cooling, downforce, stability and braking. Electronic Orange or Black Metallic.

02.Poise & purpose

A 6D IMU feeding cornering MTC, cornering ABS and MSR, a 947 cc LC8c with 128 PS and a centralised exhaust, four ride modes as standard and Track mode as an option.

4 features

6D IMU

Race DNA

Prototype supersport heritage: reams of data through the 6D inertial measurement unit into the ECU, administering cornering Motorcycle Traction Control, cornering ABS and Motor Slip Regulation — speedy, sporty, confidence-inspiring.

947 cc, 128 PS

LC8c parallel twin

The Euro 5+ 947 cc LC8c, harnessed further with a tweaked map and a 100 % throttle opening: 127.8 PS (94 kW) and 103 Nm at 6 750 rpm, from the most compact twin in the segment, through a new centralised stainless-steel silencer.

Four standard, three optional

Ride modes

Rain, Street, Sport and Custom as standard; a trio of performance-based Track and Custom configurations as technical accessories — mould the bike for any given lap or ride-out.

Optional

Track mode

Launch Control centre stage, five levels of anti-wheelie or off, adjustable throttle response and four ABS options — Road, Sport, Supermoto+ and Supermoto — plus a telemetry screen to review the data.

03.Performance & edge

An 845 mm seat and 163 mm of clearance for full lean, a tank with six contact points, clip-ons, adjustable levers and pegs with a street and a track position.

3 features

845 mm

Seat

MotoGP genes in the seat and the formation on top of the fairing: 845 mm seat height, 163 mm ground clearance and a 1 481 mm wheelbase — cranked over with no concerns. A pillion seat cover clicks in from the PowerParts catalogue.

845 mmseat

Six contact points

Ergonomics

A tank shape with six contact points for a wide range of heights, letting the rider glide around the bike while keeping control through legs, knees and arms. Aluminium clip-ons, adjustable levers and adjustable pegs: the street setting moves 25 mm back and 17 mm up for the track.

6-way, better haptics

Controls

A new handlebar layout and switch-cube system to cycle through the options on the TFT: better ergonomics, less friction, 6-way interaction and improved haptics — simpler than the MotoGP cousin, just as thorough.

04.The best line

Brembo HyPure on 320 mm discs, a 52.5/47.5 chassis with a linkage swingarm, a 48 mm WP APEX fork with 30 clicks, a linear-spring shock and Michelin Power Cup 2.

5 features

HyPure

Brembo brakes

Next-generation four-piston Brembo HyPure calipers — a more linear feel, a constant pressure point, less lever pull and better modulation — on two resilient 320 mm Brembo discs; a single-piston unit on a 240 mm Galfer disc at the rear.

320 / 240 mmdiscs

52.5 / 47.5

Chassis

Track tool and street sportsbike in one: 52.5/47.5 front/rear weight distribution, 33 mm offset and 25° steering angle per side for a planted front end, and an aluminium die-cast linkage swingarm with the flex for bumpy track and street surfaces. 184 kg dry.

30 clicks, 6 mm preload

WP APEX 48 fork

A 48 mm WP APEX open-cartridge fork with settings developed on track and sensibility for the street, in new 33 mm black-anodised triple clamps. Fully adjustable — 30 clicks of compression and rebound, 6 mm of preload.

Ø 48 mm
147 mmtravel

Linear spring

WP APEX shock

A WP APEX linear-spring shock with high- and low-speed compression, rebound and preload; the linear spring harmonises with the progression curve of the linkage for the best feedback.

134 mmtravel

Michelin Power Cup 2

Wheels & tyres

Verified on the racetrack: Michelin Power Cup 2 — 120/70 R17 and 180/55 R17 — needing only 10 °C to start warming, on black lightweight aluminium wheels for quick changes of direction.
