[. . . ] The nose fairing has been developed in the wind tunnel and combines an enviably aggressive look with a superior level of protection. The shape of the nose fairing helps improve stability at high speeds, working in conjunctionwith the spoilers on the sides of the frame. The rider's seating position is decidedly race-oriented, and conceived to ensure absolute control over the front end without fatigue, assisting concentration and more effective handling.
