KB4RC

Racing Freedom

Innovation and performance without compromise

The KB4RC bimota is unique, with an innovative aesthetic never seen before. The design is instantly recognizable as bimota and "KB4RC".

Art to guide

Down to the smallest detail, the KB4RC conveys high quality. From the handcrafted paintwork, to the alloy and carbon fiber parts, from the gold-anodized OZ forged wheels to the genuine leather saddle. The powerful motor, combined with the latest generation electronics, is another example of the high quality of the KB4RC.

Maximum lightness and extraordinary agility

An example of functionality taken to the extreme is the dry weight of the KB4RC. The frame design, a compact chassis and carefully thought-out dimensions give the KB4RC its characteristic handling.

Engineering Excellence Meets Striking Design

Engineering and functionality in every detail

Every component of the KB4RC has been developed to maximize functionality and minimize weight: the 1,043 cm3 Kawasaki in-line four-cylinder engine, the Brembo braking system that offers excellent stopping power and the eccentric to adjust the height of the bike integrated into the aluminum alloy swingarm.

Customizable adjustments for a tailored riding experience

The rider can make numerous adjustments to customize the KB4RC. The suspension, both front and rear, is fully adjustable and guaranteed by Öhlins components, suitable for every riding style. The position of the footpegs can be changed according to the rider's preferences.

Compact chassis and advanced engineering

The frame of the KB4RC is composite: the front trellis connects the engine to the steering head, two machined aluminum plates connect the swingarm to the engine, optimizing rigidity and compactness.

Extreme agility and perfectly balanced weight

Thanks to a short wheelbase and a long swingarm, the KB4RC offers exceptional handling. The radiator under the seat allows the engine to be positioned further forward, thus achieving an extremely efficient front-rear weight distribution.
