Brembo hydraulic clutch
The new high-performance Brembo hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear, near maintenance-free operation and perfect action in every condition. Clutch free play is constantly compensated so that the pressure point and function of the clutch remains identical in cold or hot conditions, as well as over time. Countless hours of race focused testing have proven the high- quality, Italian-made, Brembo hydraulic system’s exceptional reliability.
• New Brembo hydraulic clutch system → perfect action and outstanding reliability in all conditions
Brakes
The highest level of quality is guaranteed with class leading Brembo calipers and controls. The 260 mm front and 220 mm solid rear discs deliver superior stopping power instilling confidence in any condition.
• Brembo brake calipers and high-performance discs → superior stopping power with greater control
ProTaper handlebar
The ProTaper handlebar is second to none for function and style. Manufactured to exacting standards, the handlebar features class-leading fatigue resistance at a minimal weight. The handlebar bend further increases comfort with an optimal pressure point on the rider’s hands.
- ProTaper handlebar → class-leading function and style
- Husqvarna bend → optimal comfort Grips and throttle assembly The ODI lock-on grip on the left side does not require gluing, while on the right, the vulcanised grip features an innovative integrated throttle mechanism. The assembly has easy free-play adjustment and, by changing a cam, throttle progression can be altered.
• Throttle assembly and ODI grips → easily alter throttle progression; easy grip mounting without glue
Map switch, traction & launch control
Designed for easy operation, the standard map switch on all 4-stroke models can engage launch control, select between two engine maps and activate the traction control feature.
With the engine at idle, launch control is engaged by pressing both the TC and MAP buttons simultaneously for about 2 seconds.
The LED lamp will then blink continuously meaning the system is engaged. This function limits the amount of power to the rear wheel, improving traction and preventing loss of control under hard acceleration.
- Standard handlebar map switch → alter engine characteristics according to conditions and rider preference
- Launch control → maximum traction for perfect starts Traction control is selected to an on or off position from the switch and functions by analysing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which RPM increases in the engine. If the RPM increases too quickly, the EMS registers a loss of grip and reduces the amount of power to the rear wheel, ensuring maximum traction. This is a distinct advantage in wet or muddy conditions.
• Traction control → optimal traction in all conditions Engine management system (EMS)
The Keihin EMS is specifically designed to be smaller, lighter and faster at processing data. It integrates launch control for perfect starts, selectable engine maps via the switch on the handlebar as well as traction control. Combined with the gear sensor, power delivery is tailored for each gear.
- Keihin EMS → smaller, lighter and faster at processing engine data for more efficient engine management
- Gear sensor → specific engine maps for each gear 44 mm throttle body The 4-stroke range features a 44 mm Keihin throttle body. The injector is positioned to deliver the most efficient flow of fuel and air into the combustion chamber and for immediate throttle response, the throttle cable is mounted directly without a linkage.
• Throttle body → 44 mm, injector positioned for optimal flow, more immediate throttle response thanks to direct cable mounting
Exhaust system
Tailored specifically for each model using an innovative 3D design process, the 2-stroke header pipes offer optimal geometry, performance and ground clearance, making them less susceptible to damage. The 2-stroke silencers also feature an aluminium mounting bracket and advanced internal construction for excellent noise damping and weight saving.
The 4-stroke exhaust systems are expertly designed to deliver leading performance at the lowest possible weight. The header pipe features a flow designed resonance chamber that is integrated into the header pipe. The header pipe is designed and manufactured in two pieces, to be as compact as possible with the joining position allowing it to be removed without needing to remove the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer without increasing noise levels. The component is crafted from lightweight aluminium and is stylishly finished in a black coating to highlight its premium quality.
- Compact exhausts → lightweight, optimal performance
- Optimal header joining position on 4-stroke → easier removal Electric start and Li-Ion battery Along with the benefit of an easy electric starting system, a Li-Ion 2.0 Ah battery is fitted to the 4- stroke range. The Li-Ion battery weighs approximately 1 kg less than a conventional lead battery meaning the convenience of electric starting is delivered while keeping overall weight to a minimum.
- Electric starter → easy starting
- Li-Ion battery → lightweight, 1 kg lighter than a conventional battery Integrated cooling system and radiators The radiators are expertly crafted using high strength aluminium. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology is used to channel air through the radiators more efficiently and provide optimal cooling in any condition. The cooling system is designed to channel coolant through the frame, eliminating the need for additional hoses. A large centre tube runs through the frame and reduces the pressure at this point in the system to ensure a more consistent coolant flow. Additionally, the radiators are mounted close to the centre of gravity for improved handling while smart radiator louvres protect from roost and feature an integrated brace to provide protection from impacts.
- Integrated cooling → maximum efficiency in minimum space
- WP radiators → efficient for optimal cooling
- Large central tube → consistent coolant flow Fuel tank The 7-litre polythene fuel tanks incorporate a threaded filler cap and an integrated fuel pump on the 4-stroke range. The fuel pump features internal line routing directly from the pump to the flange for optimal fuel flow. Additionally, the external fuel line is specifically positioned to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage.
- 7-litre polythene fuel tanks → large capacity for extended running times
- Internal fuel line routing → improved flow and reliability Airbox and tool-less Twin Air air filter access The airbox is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts to prevent air deformation and ensure maximum airflow while protecting the air filter from dirt. The air filter is easily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel. Easy maintenance is guaranteed by the Twin Air filter and filter cage design that features a simple, fail proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation.
- Airbox → maximum air flow and air filter protection
- Filter mounting system → safe and accurate protection against dirt
- Tool-less filter access → easy and fast maintenance Wheels Black high-strength alloy rims by D.I.D with laser engraved logos are coupled to CNC machined hubs using lightweight spokes and silver anodised aluminium nipples.
