FRAME

The RSV1000 frame is a highly rigid aluminium structure, with a flexural rigidity of 650 Kgm/°. It is
made up of a series of shell-cast parts: steering tube, engine front mounting plate, swingarm pin
mounting plate, where the rear of the shock absorber is also attached, and press-forged aluminium
plate parts; the same applies to the four sections (2 internal and 2 external) that form the side
fairings, with a special polished finish.
Given the high rigidity of the frame, there is no longer any need for the classical cradle around the
lower part of the engine, thus reducing the overall weight.
The fairings are lined inside with soundproofing material to reduce noise.
The pillar subframe is an extruded aluminium, square-section structure bolted to the central frame.
