• DTC-Shift for the right gear — The available DTC-Shift gives you all of the control: Decide for yourself how much support the engine electronics provide when accelerating – and how long of a black mark you want to leave behind you when speeding out of a curve.
• The wheels, uncompromisingly sporty — Sporty look, elaborate wheel rims, and available hypersport tires – bring maximum dynamics to the streets. Lighter, more precise, and uncompromisingly agile.
• Dark chrome exhaust system — Striking and refined: The exhaust system is available in a dark chrome look which emphasizes the dynamic aesthetic of the bike, while also offering protection against external influences. Win-win.
