17 | Panigale V2
The integration of a multifunctional frame The Panigale V2 frame comprises a monocoque structure, in die-cast aluminium to increase its strength, that uses the Superquadro engine as a stressed member. The frame is directly attached to the cylinder heads and protrudes forwards to house the steering head bearings. As well as carrying out the traditional frame function, the monocoque also serves as an air-box, housing not only the air filter, but also the throttle bodies and fuel circuit, complete with injectors. With this frame, the front-end geometry has a rake of 24°, and 95 mm trail. At the rear is a sophisticated, fully die-cast aluminium single-sided swingarm. The bike has a 1436 mm wheelbase and weight distribution is 52% at the front and 48% at the rear.
