Tesi 3D

“The 3D has extra connotations best described as a 3D feast of motorcycle engineering jewellery! Every time you look at this smorgasbord of aluminium, chromalloy, and carbon fiber you spot some new intricate detail. The bike is one of only a handful in the country being ridden, the others are in living rooms as art pieces.”

The motorcycle weighs only 167 kg and is propelled by a Ducati Desmodromic, L-Twin cylinder engine with a displacement of 1078cc. Fire it up and it will crank out a maximum output of 100HP (69.9Kw) at 7750 rpm and 94Nm of torque at 5250 Rpm. All this power is kept under control by a six speed transmission.

The stopping power is handled by front double discs (320mm) and a rear single disc (220mm), both grabbed by Brembo calipers.

The Tesi 3D E in this test is an evolution of the 3D which includes a further revised front shock position. The 3D pull-rod mechanism hydraulic suspension which was located low beside the engine has been replaced on this evo version with a more traditional spring over damper shock directly mounted on the front swingarm translating into more responsive damping of the front end. The evo version also has heaps more carbon fibre and a very handy STM slipper clutch.
