Puig : The Barcelona based parts specialist ( Motoplastic S . A .) has revisited the Diablo ' Everflowing Design ' project that it unveiled in 2022 with DIABLOX . The startpoint had been to evaluate what features and accessories motorcycles of the future will give us and , in an ideal world , where could free-flowing accessory design creativity take us ? Creativity that isn ' t compromised by factory productionization . EICMA 2023 saw the unveil of a second iteration of its ' Everflowing Design ' thinking as a second stage in the translation of design philosophy into design language . The donor bike was a Yamaha MT-09 and parts developed include frontal spoilers , a smart display , height- adjustable seat design and rear seat cowl , side panels , rear spoiler , drag-reducing lenticular rim , side fines that modify the airflow and a fairing with an electronically adjustable windshield and full LED headlight . The most important boxes that the Puig design studio seeks to tick are to produce accessories that not only look great , but that are fully functional - " without purpose , there is no design "; adaptable - " versatile designs that can be purposed to different uses and needs "; aerodynamic - " the basis of everything "; ergonomic - " designs for every kind of rider "; minimalistic - " designs with nothing unnecessary getting in the way " and ' Smart-Electronic ' - " technological , useful and interactive - " a bike that responds "; www . puig . tv
