Features
Fuel Injection with
Radial Motion Injectors
The radial motion
capability of the fuel injection system means that the injectors,
located above the intake trumpets, can rotate, thus allowing
the fuel jet to vary its direction. The fuel jet is directed
to the partial opening of the throttle valve, therefore reaching
the free section of the intake duct.
At the minimum throttle position the fuel jet departing from
the injector is directed against the inner side of the duct.
As the throttle is increased, the fuel jet is directed more towards
the duct's axis, at maximum throttle, the fuel jet's direction
is perfectly in line with the axis.
Advantages of the Radial Injection System
The ability to move the injector on its axis - and therefore
direct the fuel jet towards the open area of the intake duct
- offers the major advantage of optimizing the fuel's nebulization.
The result is n improved mixing of air an petrol as compared
to conventional systems, with substantial positive effects on
combustion performance and efficiency, particularly in the low
rev range. The benefits of this ingenious system not only enhance
the motorcycle's overall performance, but also the rider's overall
riding experience.
Electrical System
The electrical system is monitored and controlled by a unit
known as the CGI, which has the ability from an active reference
point, to monitor the entire status of the electrical system
and its peripherals - from actuators and sensors of the engine's
CPU to lights to indicators and battery - and is able to adapt
its commands to the response obtained.
The most tangible
result of this system is the absence of relays and fuses, as
the CGI also performs any passive actions needed, such as protection
from electrical surges, system activation, and time switching.
Chassis
The key to the chassis is the unique composite structure
frame. The upper frame section is constructed from light alloy
whereas the lower frame section consists of two carbon fiber
plates with a box structure that achieves the best possible rigidity
to weight ratio. Such a composite frame creates an extremely
lightweight bike - 185 kg (408 lb) on-road weight at an exceptional
rigidity.
