Ergonomics and Ride Comfort
- Rider: The ergonomic triangle is focused on dynamics: 815 mm seat height, variable-section handlebar set forward, moderately loading the front end. The seat is firm, ideal for sporty riding but fatiguing after 300+ continuous kilometers.
- Aerodynamic Protection: Absent, consistent with the naked architecture. Beyond 130 km/h, wind pressure on the helmet and shoulders is significant.
- Vibrations: Well isolated from the frame. Instrumental data shows slight resonances on the footpegs within a specific range between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm.
- Heat: Thermal management of the new 1,100 cc engine has improved; however, radiant heat from the rear cylinder is perceptible at low speeds.
- Passenger: Dedicated ergonomics are sacrificed to favor the tail design; integrated grab handles are missing.
