• Optimised torque curve for improved ridability.

• Expansion from two to three performance curves (one each for Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for Race and Slick modes); Rain mode now 120 kW (163 hp).

• Reduced twisting force and tighter twistgrip angle.

• Smaller secondary ratio for boosted thrust.

• Revised RR logo.

• New heel plates and leaner stabilisers on the passenger footrests.

• Redesigned LCD engine speed display for better readability and with five dimming levels.
