New is the adaptive aerodynamics that automatically adjusts the position of the deflectors on the sides of the 17.5 liter tank according to the speed and one of the four Riding Modes selected.
The open aerodynamic deflectors reduce the pressure from the air to the rider by 22%, while the windshield is electrically adjustable in height.
The cockpit is filled with a 5-inch color TFT screen linked to a full LED lighting system with DRL, the bending light system paired with additional headlights that illuminate the inside of the curve linked with cruise control.
