The 1200SS features bespoke carbon fiber bodywork, a custom subframe, and a unique fuel tank design. Performance upgrades include a 1200cc engine sourced from a 2008 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 Evo, delivering 120 hp at the wheel.

High-end components such as Ohlins forks, carbon fiber wheels, and premium tires ensure optimal handling and agility. With a focus on lightweight construction, the 1200SS weighs a mere 320 pounds, promising an exhilarating riding experience.
