New for 2024:
Frame: Geometrically the chassis is the same as the previous model, however, the aluminium frame features a new rigidity balance for enhanced steering accuracy and improved turning.
Engine: Camshaft and crankshaft specifications have changed, increasing acceleration and improving engine braking.
Aerodynamics: MotoGP-derived wings generate downforce, increasing front tyre grip on corner exit, enabling the rider to accelerate harder. It also enables a greater top speed as the bike is more aerodynamically efficient at high speed.
2-Motor Throttle by Wire: The addition of 2-Motor Throttle By Wire (TBW) increases part-throttle control and allows amplified engine braking.
