Bimota DB7 Motorcycle -  Distinctly Bimota
The objective in the development of Bimota’s newest Superbike was to create a motorcycle that is light and powerful with superior road manners, while remaining distinctly Bimota in style and attitude. Furthermore, the new Bimota was to be as capable on the track as it is on the street. With so many Superbike manufacturers, there are also many advanced and extremely capable motorcycles. So for Bimota, simply being fast and race inspired is not enough, a Bimota must offer something more, much more.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle looks like no other Superbike, never to be mistaken for another brand. With the team colours of red, white and black applied to the carbon fiber body shaped by the pen and hands of designer Enrico Borghesan, the Bimota family DNA is clear to see. This Superbike dares true motorcyclists to get close and indulge in its details. The beauty and drama of the DB7 at a distance is surpassed only by its detail. Each and every assembly, fastener and chassis component is elegantly fashioned and manufactured with care using advanced materials. From billet machined sub-frames, footrests and control levers to the structural carbon fiber tail section and titanium silencer, no compromise was ever considered nor made. The details are simply spectacular.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle  Power
The 1098 Testastretta engine The Testastretta Evoluzione engine is the pinnacle of Ducati’s development and perfection of the L-Twin engine. World Superbike dominance for the last 15 years is the result of their continual commitment to twin-cylinder technology and the 1098 Testastretta Evoluzione, the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine in history, is a fitting reward to the continued ingenuity of their engineers.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle  Chassis
Hybrid-trellis frame The DB7 frame is the most advanced evolution of the Bimota hybrid-trellis design. The composite structure employs mitred and welded thin wall CrMo4 (Chrome Moly) tubing and machined 6082 AC 100 Aluminium Alloy. The classic round tubes of the original trellis design have been replaced for the DB7 with oval section tubes, in a 50mm x 30mm dimension with 1.5mm wall thickness. The trellis section joins the new larger more robust alloy plates, and these work in harmony with the engine as a ‘stressed member’ of the frame group. The result is a substantial 2.3kg reduction in weight, yet with torsionally increased rigidity. What you feel as a rider is confident and consistent road holding and stability.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle  Suspension
Front suspension The DB7′s Marzocchi Corse RAC 43 forks are secured with machined aluminium crowns, the lower crown using triple screws. The cartridge type forks, feature nitrite coated sliders for smooth consistent action, and are fully adjustable. Rebound damping offers 32 clicks of adjustment and compression offers 13, with further adjustment for spring preload that is easily accessible externally at the top of each fork. Additionally, each fork leg features an exclusive Bimota machined aluminium caliper mount. With 120mm of precision controlled wheel travel, road holding is accurate and confident both on the track at maximum speed and spirited sport rides on the road.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle Rear suspension Rear wheel travel is controlled by the outstanding ExtremeTech 2v4 shock. Specifically developed for the DB7, it is constructed of fully machined aluminium and features separate high and low speed damping adjustments, for both compression and rebound, plus spring preload. As a result, the 2v4 can be accurately tuned for any riding style or track condition.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle  Control
Monobloc brake calipers For a motorcycle with the performance of the DB7, superior stopping power is fundamental, so the new Superbike mounts only the best; Brembo Monobloc racing calipers. The M4-34 calipers are machined from a solid block of alloy and the result is a single piece unit that has much higher rigidity and resistance to distortion, for maximum stopping power during extreme braking. Combined with 320mm discs, world championship level braking performance is in the hands of every DB7 rider. Super light-weight wheels
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle  Body
Premium carbon fiber Look closely at any World Superbike or MotoGP racebike, and you’ll find an all carbon fiber fairing, fenders and tail section, so of course you’ll find the same on the DB7. The aggressive GP inspired body design is finished in the Bimota team colours of red and white over black carbon fiber, and at a glance, the DB7 seems to be in motion even when at rest. In addition, the Bimota sports carbon fiber instrument mounts, chain guards, licence plate bracket, and when combined with the structural carbon fiber rear tail section, titanium exhaust silencer and the billet aluminium used throughout, it’s clear why the sleek and aerodynamic DB7 feels so light and confident on the track.
Bimota DB7 Motorcycle  Electronics
Instrumentation Ease of use, daytime visibility and accuracy are the fundamental elements of the best instrumentation, and the DB7 delivers just that. A big analogue rev counter, paired to a large LCD screen with multiple digital readouts are essential in design and perfectly placed for quick access to information while underway. The various functions available are retrieved using the two input buttons which are designed for use even with gloved hands.
