How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a low-volume, handcrafted exercise in cornering precision, pairing a proven Ducati V-twin with Bimota's own exotic chassis and suspension.
- Built for
- A rare, purist's canyon-carver that rewards a smooth, deliberate riding style with telepathic front-end feedback and light, flickable steering.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, passengers, or anyone wanting to venture off paved roads.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
