Motorcycle specifications BimotaDB7 1098 2008 Bimota's return to hypersport

but the most important thing about a Bimota is its chassis, which the small manufacturer strives to design with refinement, innovative technical solutions and haute couture parts. Check out this trellis frame made of chromium-molybdenum steel tubing connected to openwork aluminum plates carved from solid. The swingarm alone is a feast of engineering. The wheel is attached to plates (also cut from aluminum) screwed to a tubular structure. The ExtremeTech shock absorber is anchored to the swingarm reinforcement, not to the frame. What's more, the swingarm axle and footpegs (little aluminum jewels) are attached to the engine housings. The big Marzocchi inverted fork, probably 50 mm in diameter, is equipped, like all modern machines, with an all-radial braking system. Take a look at the superb fork crown and side stand. And what about its beautiful forged aluminum wheels with ultra-thin spokes.
The DB7's other guest of honour is carbon. And it's everywhere: the fairing, mudguard, self-supporting rear shell, clutch housing and gearbox output sprocket cover are all made from this noble material.
