Claudio
ten on the mufflers.
The electronics come with
four riding modes: Normal,
Sport, Rain and Custom,
which allows you to change
any parameter you like with
traction, throttle response
and engine braking. Traction
control is an eight-stage unit,
and you get race-specific
units like the AIM dash with
full data logging and integrat-
ed GPS, allowing you to dial
in specific traction control pa-
rameters at different points of
the track, just like the Aprilia
RSV4's APRC system.
The chassis is the same
as the F4 RC, with a steel
trellis design mated to Ohlins
NIX 30 TiN-coated forks up
front and an Ohlins TTX36
shock out back.
Carbon fiber has been
used extensively. All the
bodywork comes in carbon,
as do the stunning gold-flake
BST wheels. Brakes are the
same as the Ducati Panigale
V4 in the Brembo Stilema
four-piston calipers clamping
on Brembo T-Drive fully float-
ing discs.
MV Agusta is claiming
a dry weight (not wet) of
403 pounds for the new F4
Claudio, but they haven't
been forthcoming in price.
Suffice to say, if you have to
ask... CN
