Thoroughly-increased mass centralization and heavily-reduced friction losses were two goals in increasing performance levels as high as possible.For MotoGP bikes, when it comes to manufacturing something so different to a regular production bike, the following points are very important:Component weight reduction and processing accuracyHigh level of technical proficiency during manufactureRC213V-S shares these two factors with RC213V, also adopting the latter’s control technology.RC213V is customized according to its rider and race course, only being equipped with the parts needed to win. RC213V-S however is for public roads, so we had to make some changes and additions to create a roadworthy bike.
