The presence of a two-wheeler at the Geneva Motor Show is anomalous compared to the history of the event, but nevertheless interesting.
But the futuristic FSD 59 motorbike designed by the famous Frank Stephenson (he worked for Ford, BMW, Mini, Ferrari, Maserati, Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo and McLaren) has all the characteristics to be hosted at the Palexpò.
The FSD 59 concept in fact has the qualities and vision towards the future to identify with two of the values that the organizers of the Geneva event had placed at the basis of the new format for the 2024 edition (just opened).
FSD 59 is in fact identified in a broad sense with technological progress and with the still usable opportunities offered by aerodynamic research and new materials.
And the (realistic) concept of the two-wheeler aims to be a sort of manifesto - perfectly designed - of what awaits us with the transition to zero-emission mobility.
The result of a rigorous and creative process which involved the experimentation of different architectures and technologies in the field of electric and hydrogen propulsion engines.
FSD 59i is light and agile, without being too aggressive or compromising comfort and safety.
It includes an electric motor that offers impressive performance and efficiency.
And it offers a pure aerodynamic design that minimizes drag and maximizes speed.
The bike was born on a monocoque platform with a modular battery.
And it offers dynamic windshield angle adjustment, an augmented reality-enabled human-machine interface and a one-piece fairing.
“Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to introduce this project,” commented Stephenson, “and we are excited to share it and soon announce developments.”
