Based on a highly stiff space frame chassis, this racing machine uses lots of lightweight carbon fibre components and an aluminium sub-frame. What further enhances its handling and drivability is the cast alloy swing arm that not only maintains dynamics control, but provides flexibility to rider as well. The aerodynamic efficiency comes from the dorsal fin and heat management gills that are fitted under the seat and in the body frame respectively.
