While benefitting from the V4R’s already top-notch equipment, the Superleggera features a number of additional elements, including a lighter Öhlins suspension system comprising a pressurised fork and machined aluminium fork bottoms, a titanium shock absorber spring and GP-derived valves that improve the damping during initial compression. Range-topping Brembos also feature, with an MCS calliper featuring a remotely adjusted lever gap and Stylema R callipers.
Deliveries are due to begin in June 2020 and continue to the end of the year, with only five bikes built per day due to their sheer complexity.
With Superleggera ownership comes an exclusive package of matching leathers (at a cost), race experiences and, for 30 lucky buyers, the chance to ride a circuit on the Desmosedici GP20 as campaigned by Dovizioso and Petrucci. Better yet, servicing is no more frequent than the standard V4R, with a light service at 7,500 miles and a Desmo valve clearances service at double that.
