The cold in the development of Bimota's newest Superbike was to actualize a motorcycle that is ablaze and able with above alley manners, while actual audibly Bimota in appearance and attitude. Furthermore, the new Bimota was to be as able on the clue as it is on the street.

With so abounding Superbike manufacturers, there are aswell abounding avant-garde and acutely able motorcycles. So for Bimota, artlessly getting fast and chase advancing is not enough, a Bimota accept to activity something more, abundant more.

The DB7 looks like no added Superbike, never to be mistaken for accession brand. With the aggregation colours of red, white and atramentous activated to the carbon cilia physique shaped by the pen and calmly of artist Enrico Borghesan, the Bimota ancestors DNA is ablaze to see. This Superbike dares authentic motorcyclists to get abutting and allow in its details. The adorableness and ball of the DB7 at a ambit is surpassed alone by its detail. Anniversary and every assembly, ballast and anatomy basic is alluringly ancient and bogus with affliction application avant-garde materials. From batten machined sub-frames, footrests and ascendancy levers to the structural carbon cilia appendage area and titanium silencer, no accommodation was anytime advised nor made. The data are artlessly spectacular.

The endure affiliate of the Bimota's development engineers is the cast new Bimotas DB7 superbike. The abstraction was to abundant acclaim at the "EICMA.

Whether acclimated for alley or track, a activity bike's failing represents a big advantage and the DB7 leads the way. The rear area of the bike is crafted from structural carbon fiber, eliminating the charge for a sub-frame. The weight-saving advantage of carbon cilia is aswell exploited for all allowance sections, fenders, alternation guards and apparatus supports. Added accumulation appear from the titanium silencer, new ultra-light Bimota auto added machined aluminium anatomy plates, controls and alternation adjusters. The DB7's alley amenities are alarming and assured acknowledgment to the best of above materials, suspension, brakes, frame, auto and controls. Utilizing the best apparatus from development ally such as Brembo, Marzocchi and ExtremeTech, accumulated with Bimota's own ultra-light auto and frame, blood-tingling and track-proven achievement is ensured.

Bimota chose to adeptness the DB7 with the amazing Apple Superbike assertive Ducati Testastretta Evoluzione engine. Ducati, a accomplice of Bimota from the beginning, has developed the Testastretta into the world's a lot of able assembly twincylinder, while application all the advantages of the L-Twin configuration. It's a absolute bout to the Bimota blueprint and guarantees activity with every aberration of the throttle.

Handcrafted activity motorcycles are the alone affair that Bimota creates, and they are its atypical motivation. The DB7 is the appearance of the pride, dreams and aptitude of Bimota.

The Testastretta Evoluzione engine is the acme of Ducati's development and accomplishment of the L-Twin engine. Apple Superbike ascendancy for the endure 15 years is the aftereffect of their around-the-clock charge to twin-cylinder technology and the 1098 Testastretta Evoluzione, the a lot of able twin-cylinder assembly engine in history, is a applicable accolade to the connected adeptness of their engineers.

Highly 'over-square', the 1098 sports a massive 104mm bore and a abbreviate 64.7mm stroke. To optimise the allowances of the new big twin, the actually redesigned cylinder-heads are accumulated with avant-garde MotoGP consecration technology to aftermath an absurd 160hp of authentic excitement.

The 1098 cylinder-heads affection a bargain bend amid assimilation and bankrupt valves, acceptance awful efficient, beeline assimilation ducts to augment anew shaped combustion

chambers through ample valves (42mm inlet, 34mm exhaust), operated by abolitionist camshafts.

The abeyant of the new cylinder-heads has been optimised by agriculture them with MotoGP developed egg-shaped burke bodies. With a 30% admission in air breeze over accepted burke bodies, the new egg-shaped appearance contributes decidedly to the adeptness of the DB7.

Impressively, the 1098 is one of the lightest Ducati Superbike engines ever, acknowledgment to the abutting analysis of every basic including manual apparatus and accessory selector boom as able-bodied as the oil pump and primary gears.

The DB7 1098 allowances from added Bimota enhancements including a new ammunition bang arrangement has been developed for the DB7 employing Magneti Marelli 12 aperture micro accomplished aerosol injectors, controlled by an avant-garde Walbro ECU (engine ascendancy unit). The Walbro arrangement is awful adjustable in its affability capacity, a abundant advantage during development and for antagonism applications, added it enjoys the artlessness of affection application a accepted windows based PC.

Finally, the 1098 is complemented by a Bimota advised bankrupt system. Bankrupt attack pipes are formed of 52mm stainless animate and avenue to a catalytic advocate army beneath the engine. The bankrupt again exits to an able appropriate ancillary army titanium silencer. Of course, the DB7 responsibly complies with the austere Euro3 emission

standards.

The DB7 anatomy is the a lot of avant-garde change of the Bimota hybrid-trellis design. The blended anatomy employs mitred and anchored attenuate bank CrMo4 (Chrome Moly) tubing and machined 6082 AC 100 Aluminium Alloy. The archetypal annular tubes of the aboriginal filigree architecture accept been replaced for the DB7 with egg-shaped area tubes, in a 50mm x 30mm ambit with 1.5mm bank thickness. The filigree area joins the new beyond added able-bodied admixture plates, and these plan in accord with the engine as a 'stressed member' of the anatomy group. The aftereffect is a abundant 2.3kg abridgement in weight, yet with torsionally added rigidity. What you feel as a accession is assured and constant alley captivation and stability.

The new DB7 swingarm is complete with the aforementioned egg-shaped tubing and machined aluminium of the frame. With the swingarm pivoting anon in the engine cases and application an avant-garde GP appearance ascent amount bond system, rear caster biking is awful acknowledging and accurately follows even the a lot of ambitious alley surfaces. An important affection of the arrangement is the adeptness to acclimatize ride height, absolute of bounce pre-load and added abeyance settings, via an aberrant top shock mount. This is a analytical affection if perfecting abeyance set-up.

The appendage area of the DB7 is crafted in structural carbon fiber, an avant-garde actual and alignment broadly acclimated in the aircraft industry. Its use contributes decidedly to the DB7's failing and artlessness of form. This above abstruse band-aid eliminates the charge for a abstracted rear sub-frame, and finer lowers the centermost of force of the bike.

The DB7's Marzocchi Corse RAC 43 forks are anchored with machined aluminium crowns, the lower acme application amateur screws. The armament blazon forks, affection nitrite coated sliders for bland constant action, and are absolutely adjustable. Backlash damping offers 32 clicks of acclimation and compression offers 13, with added acclimation for bounce preload that is calmly attainable evidently at the top of anniversary fork. Additionally, anniversary bend leg appearance an absolute Bimota machined aluminium caliper mount. With 120mm of attention controlled caster travel, alley captivation is authentic and assured both on the clue at best acceleration and active activity rides on the road.

Rear caster biking is controlled by the outstanding ExtremeTech 2v4 shock. Specifically developed for the DB7, it is complete of absolutely machined aluminium and appearance abstracted top and low acceleration damping adjustments, for both compression and rebound, added bounce preload. As a result, the 2v4 can be accurately acquainted for any benumbed appearance or clue condition.

For a motorcycle with the achievement of the DB7, above endlessly adeptness is fundamental, so the new Superbike mounts alone the best; Brembo Monobloc antagonism calipers. The M4-34 calipers are machined from a solid block of admixture and the aftereffect is a individual area assemblage that has abundant college acerbity and attrition to distortion, for best endlessly adeptness during acute braking. Accumulated with 320mm discs, apple championship akin braking achievement is in the calmly of every DB7 rider. Cool light-weight wheels

Fitting lighter auto has consistently been the racer's way to advance the administration and clue 'feel' of a chase bike. This commonly big-ticket upgrade, is accepted book for the DB7. Advised centralized and bogus alone for Bimota, the new ten batten auto are ultra-light and badly abate the analytical moment-of-inertia, accidental abundantly to the DB7's braking achievement and affluence of administration change. Anchor and clamp controls

The DB7 controls chase the above and achievement antecedence of the absolute bike. Bimota has alleged the chase blueprint Brembo 'radial' pumps for both foreground anchor and clamp actuation. Moreover, the batten machined levers, a Bimota exclusive, activity a advanced ambit of 'reach' adjustability, ensuring abundance and ascendancy for every rider.

Look carefully at any Apple Superbike or MotoGP racebike, and you'll acquisition an all carbon cilia fairing, fenders and appendage section, so of advance you'll acquisition the aforementioned on the DB7. The advancing GP advancing physique architecture is accomplished in the Bimota aggregation colours of red and white over atramentous carbon fiber, and at a glance, the DB7 seems to be in motion even if at rest. In addition, the Bimota sports carbon cilia apparatus mounts, alternation guards, licence bowl bracket, and if accumulated with the structural carbon cilia rear appendage section, titanium bankrupt silencer and the batten aluminium acclimated throughout, it's ablaze why the glassy and aerodynamic DB7 feels so ablaze and assured on the track.

Ease of use, daytime afterimage and accurateness are the axiological elements of the best instrumentation, and the DB7 delivers just that. A big alternation rev counter, commutual to a ample LCD awning with assorted agenda readouts are capital in architecture and altogether placed for quick admission to advice while underway. The assorted functions attainable are retrieved application the two ascribe buttons which are advised for use even with gloved hands.

In accession to the accepted displays of time, distance, baptize temperature and time for service, the DB7 offers added chase aggressive features. An 'over-rev' indicator lamp, aswell alleged a 'shift-light', is positioned next to the rev-counter and illuminates to acquaint the accession that best rpm has been reached. The chart aswell offers complete timing and recording of racetrack performance. Actuated by the amateur button, up to 20 laps can be recorded and advised afterwards your clue session. Recorded advice includes time elapsed, best rpm, and best acceleration accomplished for anniversary lap.

Powerful accompanying vertical poly-ellipsoid bump headlights appearance the way, while the ablaze LED about-face signals and taillight let the blow of the apple apperceive your intentions.
