Bimota's Latest Marvel: The Tera Adventure-Tourer Debuts At EICMA 2023

Italian motorcycle artisan Bimota has historically been synonymous with high-performance sportbikes, but the landscape is changing. The unveiling of the Tera at EICMA 2023 marks Bimota's ambitious foray into the adventure-touring realm, a segment that demands versatility and power in equal measure. The Tera, a concept turned reality, is Bimota's response to the growing appetite for motorcycles that blend the thrill of sportbikes with the endurance of tourers.

A Heart of Power and Precision

Central to the Tera's allure is its Kawasaki-derived 999cc engine, a supercharged powerhouse that delivers a staggering 197 horsepower and 101 pound-feet of torque. This engine, a shared feature with the acclaimed Bimota Tesi H2, is a testament to the Italian brand's partnership with the Japanese manufacturer, Kawasaki. The Tera's performance credentials are further bolstered by its advanced suspension system, featuring Ohlins TTX 36 shocks, and an optional semi-active setup from Marzocchi for those seeking enhanced off-road capability.

Braking and Handling: A Symphony of Control

The Tera's braking system is nothing short of what you'd expect from a bike with such impressive performance figures. It's equipped with Brembo Stylema calipers and Kawasaki's Intelligent Anti-lock Braking system (KIBS), ensuring that the bike's stopping power is as formidable as its acceleration.

Design That Demands Attention

Bimota's design philosophy has always been about making a statement, and the Tera is no exception. Its aggressive styling cues and muscular stance are a visual representation of its capabilities. The Tera doesn't just perform; it captivates. Available in two distinct versions, one dressed in red with touring tires and the other in a khaki finish with side panniers, the Tera caters to both the asphalt adventurer and the off-road enthusiast.

Exclusivity and Availability

The Tera joins Bimota's lineup of elite motorcycles, and while pricing details remain under wraps, the exclusivity of the brand suggests a premium. Prospective buyers are encouraged to stay tuned to Bimota's channels for updates or to use their dealer locator to schedule a viewing.
