finds a new version thanks in part to the countershaft that reduces high-frequency secondary vibrations all to the benefit of reliability and comfort. Friction has been reduced thanks to new gears. The transmission has been strengthened and made even more accurate and efficient.
Our aspiration towards high performance also influenced the electronics. The inertial platform enabled us to further refine the responsiveness of the traction and front-lift control. The Brutale 1000 RS unites safety and performance in perfect harmony allowing you to enjoy your riding experience in a variety of conditions whether on the racetrack or on the road. And the throttle with counter rotation makes engine management easier as well as making cruise control deactivation smoother.
