The iconic crescent-shaped LED light guides create maximum recognition value and lights the way ahead.

Never be without again: The additional USB port is ideal for charging your smartphone when it is low on power. The socket is easily accessible, short-circuit resistant, and protected from water.

Wider and higher than the standard version: The optional tubular handlebars provide a more relaxed and upright sitting position. For anyone who likes to stay on the road for longer and travel further.

Essential for cold and long journeys: Five heating levels for the rider, and two heating levels for the passenger. And, using the hotkey, you can apply the last heating setting used with the press of a button.

Simply practical: the 12-volt charging socket enables you to supply external power consumers at the rear of the bike.

Relevant information directly in the field of vision: the Corescreen Sport informs you about your current and maximum inclination or about DTC interventions as well as the strength of the brake intervention.

Dynamic Traction Control helps prevent the rear wheel from spinning when the grip changes and ABS Pro supports braking thanks to tilt detection.
