Exterior changes include new livery. There are winglets up front that can now generate up to 10kg of downforce depending on the rider’s speed. This extra weight helps counteract the wheelie tendency during acceleration. Plus, it means the traction control doesn’t require more intervention. Thus, helping drivers achieve faster lap times.

The rear has also been redesigned to make it lighter and sportier. The license plate frame is now shorter, too. As accessories, there is a new hump cover and an endurance seat.

The standard equipment on the motorcycle has changed. It now has a USB charging socket and an M battery as standard. The 6.5-inch TFT screen now has more functions and a new tachometer display. The TFT screen can be controlled using the multifunction controller located on the left handlebar.

The motorcycle was equipped with ABS Pro, but now it also features brake slip assist and an ABS Pro “Slick” setting. The new “Slick” setting is designed for treadless slick tires. A new Brake Slide Assist feature allows the rider to slide the rear out before the system activates.
