Bimota's recently introduced DB7 is powered by Ducati's 1098 superbike engine - the Testastretta Evoluzione engine. Powerful, and light, it generates the kind of power that excites the heart with each twist of the throttle, yet its linear power delivery allows entering and exiting turns fast - a confidently controlled experience.and features all of the expected artistic and functional designs of this exclusive marque.
The DB7 introduces a new hybrid oval tube trellis frame that utilizes lightweight machined plates in its design. The innovative rear suspension links the swingarm directly to the engine and employs an advanced Extreme Tech rear shock developed in cooperation with Bimota. The fully adjustable shock attaches to the SPB (Bimota progressive system) progressive linkage system, for maximum control and traction in the corners.
The rear suspension is offset to the right side, allowing space for the rear cylinder exhaust system.
The digital instrument panel combines analog and digital readouts. The unit records 20 lap times, and top speed each lap.
The narrow fuel tank, with a capacity of 26 liters, has been sculpted to be extremely thin between the legs and matches perfectly the seat to maximise rider control and comfort. With a seat height of only 800mm, riders of all heights can enjoy the performance of the DB7.
Combine all of the DB7 innovations and you have a bike that weighs-in at an incredible class leading 170 kgs.
