What Buyers Should Know

🔧

Hub-Centre Steering System

The Tesi H2 Tera uses a new version of Bimota's 'Tesi' hub-steer system with flexible tie-bars and knuckles that turn the front wheel more directly, giving an extra 7° of steering lock in each direction compared to previous versions.

Supercharged Kawasaki Engine

The Tera uses the supercharged inline-four from Kawasaki's H2 SX sports tourer and Z H2 naked, producing a claimed 197bhp. The engine is smooth at a cruise yet transforms into a riotous thrill-seeker with more throttle.

🇮🇹

Hand-Built Italian Craftsmanship

The Tesi H2 Tera is hand-built in Rimini with extensive use of carbon fibre and machined alloy components. Kawasaki holds a 49.9% stake in Bimota and provides full access to components and R&D.
