Bimota Tesi 3D
In a time of highly competitive markets, wholly subject to the
pressures of globalization, values like genuine Passion, Talent,
Skill, Courage and maniacal Love for perfection often seem to
belong to an altogether different world. Exactly these values
are what we are all about at Bimota. Our motorcycles capture
and represent the essence of a decidedly different approach -
the only approach we feel comfortable taking.
The eagerly awaited TESI 3D Concept, first introduced at the
2006 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, is the standard-bearer
for Bimota's cutting-edge technology of emotion. The TESI 3D,
like all Bimota motorcycles, embodies all of the character and
DNA of a small company that knows how to think big. Bimota is
fully committed to the pursuit of excellence and the continuous
refinement of our already state-of-the-art technologies.
Concentrating on innovative technical solutions, the TESI 3D
has been developed entirely by our in-house staff at the Bimota
factory in Rimini. Italy. Dressed in our traditional color-scheme
of white, red, and gold, the motorcycle is propelled by a Ducati
1079cc engine.
While featuring the original Hub-Steering developed by Bimota,
the Tesi 3D Concept boasts several new developments and refinements:
The front and rear swing utilize a trellis structure similar
to the rear swing of our DB5 and DB6 series' models. Also the
front suspension has been radically redesigned and now uses a
pull-rod mechanism with the hydraulic suspension located low
beside the engine. Carbon body-parts and cowling, forged alloy
wheels, and radial disc brakes are further features of the new
TESI 3D. The frame consists of light alloy.
The TESI 3D is equipped with a Ducati 1100 DS engine with a displacement
of 1079cc, giving the motorcycle significantly more horsepower
compared to its predecessor. The electrical environment is developed
by Bimota.
The TESI 3D will be available in the USA as a limited production
model in fall 2007. Authorized Bimota Dealers are taking orders
now!
