FIRST EVER BIMOTA PERFORMANCE CROSSOVER
Thanks to its innovative TESI layout, the TERA sets a new standard in the motorcycle industry and is equipped with Kawasaki’s iconic litre-class supercharged inline-4 engine which can unleash a massive 14 kgf•m of torque.
TERA, is the latest development of TESI chassis concept with a lay-out delivering exactly the 52,5% front weight distribution that Rimini’s engineers deemed optimal for a inline-4 cylinder Performance Crossover.
TERA PROJECT
Since the marque’s earliest years, many Bimota motorcycles have been launched combining benchmark performance with first class handling as pillars of their success.
Now, Bimota has created a machine that is unique on the world stage.
Not only do performance, riding pleasure and comfort coexist in perfect harmony, but also a peerless encapsulation of Bimota’s iconic DNA.
CHASSIS AND BODY
The chassis of TERA with inbuilt anti-dive effect is completely new and has been designed from scratch with the aim of producing a machine for every rider and passenger style on all roads types combining sublime comfort, exclusive features and impeccably appointed riding capabilities.
The chassis is the evolution of Bimota’s TesiH2 model while the bodywork is made from materials ranging from aluminium to carbon-fibre.
