This replica features a bespoke frame, developed to hold oil in the spine and utilize the engine as a stressed member. It rides on Öhlins USD forks at the front and Öhlins Piggyback shocks at the rear, along with triple clamps machined at Fastec Racing in Newmarket. It is powered by a 960cc parallel-twin engine, producing 80bhp and 65lb-ft of torque, coupled to a five-speed transmission.
