Features & Highlights
Brakes

Continental ABS continuously and individually adjusts braking pressure to each wheel, for precise braking without wheel lock up. The front features a 320mm, single floating disc with a 4-piston Brembo® caliper. The rear gets a 220mm single disc with a single piston caliper.

Suspension

Inspired by professional superbikes, the rear swing arm and suspension ingeniously connect via a multi-link structure, reducing squat and managing compression for improved stability, control, and ride quality.

 
 
Reverse Shifting

Often found in professional racing motorcycles, it involves reversing the shifter connecting rod (a simple modification). Reverse shifting allows faster gear changes and is ideal for accelerating out of corners. Upshifts are made by pushing the lever down, and downshifts by pulling it up.

Engine

It’s a 50-hp wake-up call to every 500-class sport bike. The 450cc, parallel-twin, DOHC engine is a totally new design characterized by a 270° crankshaft angle. Precision-engineered balance shafts counteract vibrations, ensuring smooth operation across the rev range.

LED Lighting

LED headlights, with exclusive lighting animation, create an intense and captivating gaze. The clean, crisp appearance of LED lighting—headlight, turn signals, and taillight—elevates fit and finish to the highest level.
