Cutting wall thickness by 30% — as someone who came up through racing, that gets me fired up. A WorldSBK-derived frame means they've reworked the flex characteristics, not just stiffness. Feeding race-proven tech down into a production bike is exactly what excites me most.

Mainly weight savings and lower unsprung mass, I believe.

Isn't the Panigale still more race-direct than this?

The old M1000RR felt rawer back in the day.

30% thinner walls for 1.3kg less, decent gain.

More curious how the ride feel actually changed than the numbers.
