Honda’s flagship superbike continues essentially unchanged from 2020 (although you can now get it in 30th Anniversary colours) so it continues here. Again, it’s tricky to be sure about this one, as no official dry weight figures have been released so we’ve had to use a guesstimate. Based on a claimed kerb weight of 201.3kg and a 16litre-tank of fuel weighing around 12kg, the dry SP will be at most 180kg. That, coupled with its 215bhp output, puts it in M1000RR territory, which is probably about right seeing as this is the most powerful, extreme and track-orientated Fireblade ever and one that’s been built specifically to win WSB. MV now claim 208bhp from its 998cc four (rising to 212 with race kit), a dry weight of 186kg, a top speed ‘over 300kph’ (if you can hang on) to go with its oddball looks, twin pipes and more.

Carbon fiber is the perfect material for bicycle spokes – because it offers a greater tensile strength to weight ratio. “It is built for high performance athletes and it’s good for those trying to reach another level in time trialing.” “I approached FARSPORTS after always being interested in their quality products and I am fortunate to partner with them.” The first rider-owned company, SE Racing, becomes a major force in the BMX industry thanks to Scott Breithaupt.
The Frame is the result of some behind-the-scenes industry development we’ve been following since the new factory opened in 2020. A new company Carbon Team was set up a few years ago to bring advanced carbon manufacturing back into the EU. Behind it were a few Portuguese companies, a big Taiwanese design backer, and the German carbon specialists of All Ahead Composites – Bike Ahead’s parent company. A complex layered carbon structure and the “generous central drop” recess in the shell allow Bike Ahead to tune flex & stiffness for improved rider comfort. Then an optional laminated synthetic Alcantara cover provides a comfortable, non-slip finish. Check the side wall of one of your bikes tyres to find the numbers below and match them to our options.
