It started with the Pierobon frame, an RS swingarm, linkage and ride height adjuster, and RS triple clamps with magnesium eccentric adjusters. It has the RS fuel tank over an EVR carbon airbox, CDT carbon bodywork, RS rearsets, an H2O Performance radiator and Microtec ECU. Every fastener is titanium; it even has a titanium swingarm spindle.
