CONCEPT
Since the marque’s earliest years, many Bimota motorcycles have been launched combining benchmark performance with first class handling as pillars of their success. Now, Bimota has created a machine that is unique on the world stage. Not only do performance, riding pleasure and comfort coexist in perfect harmony, but also a peerless encapsulation of Bimota’s iconic DNA.
TERA, is the latest development of TESI chassis concept with a lay-out delivering exactly the 52,5% front weight distribution that Rimini’s engineers deemed optimal for a inline-4 cylinder Performance Cross Over. TERA is the only machine with these features. Bimota has also given TERA the very latest iterations of the vehicle dynamic control systems introduced by Kawasaki on its most powerful and exclusive sports bikes. TERA offers class-leading performance figures (in testing, from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 s and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.2 s).
A all-new chassis has two billet alloy aluminium plates as standard to keep weight down and lower the centre of gravity. Designing the body from
scratch also meant the designers could incorporate new features. The panniers are the largest ever seen on a Bimota and the rear seat allows space to transport a passenger in comfort.
BIMOTA WORLD
Bimota’s unequalled quality standards and increasing focus on client service underpin an extended presence on international markets offering a rapidly growing service and dealer net with the new TERA. The entire Bimota range, will be available through the best dealerships already part of the Kawasaki network. For Bimota this is an exclusive service that delivers clients the certainty that their bike is being kept at peak performance and safety over the years of ownership. Additionally, this very special service is now also available to owners of pre-owned Bimotas.

CHASSIS AND BODY
The chassis of TERA with inbuilt anti-dive effect is completely new and has been designed from scratch with the aim of producing a machine for every rider and passenger style on all roads types combining sublime comfort, exclusive features and impeccably appointed riding capabilities. The chassis is the evolution of Bimota’s TesiH2 model while the bodywork is made from materials ranging from aluminium to carbon-fibre.
VEHICLE DYNAMICS
Development of dynamic performance focused on creating a bike that was completely unprecedented on the world stage and TERA boasts a unique, innovative steering system developed with the target to achieve 35° of steering radius. Compared to the TesiH2 the new patented steering system allows 8° more radius. This solution allows a steering radius of 35 degrees keeping the handlebar directly connected to the front wheel using a multi-link solution making it more sensitive to road irregularities and braking. This technology also optimises maximum cornering performance thanks to the variable and continual distribution of pitch stiffness and the actively lowered roll centre (reduced by up to 30mm).
TERA offers an impressive array of rider assistance features as standard, many of which were developed in collaboration with Kawasaki, including Cruise Control, Assist and Slipper clutch, Full-Colour TFT Screen and all LED lightning. The standard equipment Akrapovič Titanium Exhaust boasts a lightweight titanium slip-on muffler with laser etched logo, carbon end cap and carbon heat shield. This exhaust with its catalyst componentry is
homologated and has ECE type-approval (Euro 5+(. Additionally USB and 12V DC power sockets, heated grips, comfort passenger seat, tank bag, large windshield are all part of the Bimota genuine accessory programme.

H2 TERA thesis: art on two wheels, power and quality at the highest levels
Down to the smallest detail, the Tesi H2 TERA exudes high quality. From its handcrafted paintwork, to its machined alloy parts, carbon fiber parts, and forged wheels. The supercharged engine paired with the latest electronics is another example of the Tesi H2 TERA’s commitment to providing the best money can buy. While the Tesi H2 TERA is gorgeous to look at, it’s no exaggeration to call it drivable art.
Endless possibilities
Dynamic performance has been focused on completely unprecedented solutions. The Tesi H2 TERA boasts a unique and innovative steering system developed with the aim of reaching a 35° turning radius. Compared to the Tesi H2, the new patented steering system allows 8° more radius. This technology also optimizes maximum cornering performance thanks to optimal weight distribution.
Uncompromising stability and precision
The steering characteristics and the limited front sinking when braking make it easier to drive during load transfer under braking. The position of the swingarm pivot greatly disperses pitch forces, creating an anti-pitching effect.
Inexhaustible engineering elegance
Each and every Bimota bike is designed and assembled by hand in our spiritual home and workshop in Rimini.
