The front profile is designed to optimize at every lean angle the width of the contact patch and to give the best balance among a fast and linear behavior in corner and an outstanding easiness of handling. The rear profile is aimed to support the bike even at very high lean angles, shaping correctly the contact area in the best geometry from straight, to middle lean, to extreme lean.

The coordination of the front and rear profiles makes riders draw very precise trajectories at every lean angle while maintaining a highly predictable behavior and a good safety feeling in all riding conditions. It is the result if ICS (Ideal Contour Shaping) technology, which merges the work of R&D design and computer-aided simulation with thousands of hours of test.
