Review
The 2016 Bimota Tesi 3 D continues the legacy of its innovative hub-center steering design, separating steering and suspension for unique handling characteristics. Its 1078cc engine delivers 98 hp and 98 Nm of torque, providing a strong mid-range and engaging riding experience. Weighing in at 170 kg, the Tesi 3 D offers a nimble feel, complemented by its 6-speed gearbox for smooth power delivery. A 16-liter fuel tank allows for reasonable riding distances between stops. The Tesi 3 D features an 800mm seat height, offering a balance between sporty and comfortable ergonomics. The front suspension utilizes an Öhlins monoshock, adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound damping, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension to their preferences. Brembo brakes, with four-piston calipers and radial pumps, ensure confident stopping power. This motorcycle is designed for riders who seek a distinctive and technologically advanced machine. It appeals to those who appreciate engineering ingenuity and are willing to explore the unconventional. The Tesi 3 D is not just about outright speed; it's about the unique riding experience and the satisfaction of owning a motorcycle that stands apart from the crowd.
