The Bimota Tesi 3D RaceCafe is very unique with the hub-center steering chassis design - very futuristic. The 3D RaceCafe, as the name implies, will be offered in alongside the Tesi 3D Naked in Bimota’s effort to latch on to the growing Cafe Racer segment of the market.

The Tesi 3D RaceCafe is powered by the same 803cc air-cooled v-twin engine that’s found in the Scrambler series. The composite chassis is comprised of an aluminium alloy section, mated to steel tube trellis front and rear swingarms. As a result of the hub-centre steering, the Tesi also has a swingarm at the front.

Fully adjustable Öhlins shock absorbers are used at both ends on the Tesi 3D RC, 17-inch alloy wheels shod with 120/70 and 180/55 ZR-rated tyres. Twin 320mm brake discs are used at the front, with radial-mount 4-piston Brembo calipers, fuel tank capacity is 16 litres and the bike weighs 165kg dry. The front and rear steel tube trellis swingarms replaced with carbonfibre units, which brings dry weight down to 162 kilos. Ride height is fully adjustable, front and rear, by up to 23mm.
