Show answer

Correct answer

  • BAl consumo y a la aerodinámica.Fuel consumption and aerodynamics.

The fairing affects how the air hits the motorcycle and the rider. Changing it alters the aerodynamics and, with them, the air resistance and fuel consumption, so it is not just a question of appearance.
