Overview[edit | edit source]
Bimota DBx Concept
The DBx is a rugged dual sport bike fitted with Öhlins TTX forks and four-way
adjustable shock, Brembo monoblocs (2 x 300mm discs up front, 200mm in the back)
and a lot of
carbon fiber. Weighting only 385
lbs and powered by a 95 hp engine the new DBx is the lightest and most powerful
bike in its class. With 19 inch front and 17 inch (18 inch optional ) rear
wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires the Bimota DBx seems ready to conquer any
terrain with poise.
Unfortunately, the new bike is only a concept developed to see test the
publics response. Judging by the way it looks and its
sporty
specs, the new bike could have a pretty bright future and we sincerely hope that
Bimota will decide to launch it into production.
