Ergonomic - " designs for every kind of rider "; Minimalistic - " designs with nothing unnecessary getting in the way "; Smart-Electronic - " technological and useful " and Interactive - " a bike that responds ". Puig says that this is what defines ' EverFlowing Design '. The project became the creation of a Naked + motorcycle with an improved riding experience and aerodynamic performance - a dream bike that could be an everyday ride . The platform Puig chose to showcase the ' EverFlowing Design ' concept is a Yamaha MT-09 SP - one of the most popular and versatile of current production models - an accessory designer ' s blank canvas , if ever there was one . After evaluating and airflow testing the aerodynamics and ergonomics of the MT-09 , the riding position was modified , bringing the rider further forward and lower in order to get a more sporting stance that allowed Puig to improve the aerodynamics and ride for a better customer experience . Diablo includes side winglets , tank pads , side panels , a rear seat cowl and lenticular ( biconvex ) covers at the rear . Puig then added an electronic screen and deflectors for a 100 mm range of adjustable aerodynamic protection ; frontal naked winglets ; servo motor powered downforce tuneable electronic winglets ; an engine spoiler that gives the engine an optimal and aerodynamic airflow volume ; a brake cooler and two-piece rear seat cowl cover with dual air channels and powerful but minimalist lighting . That is ' EverFlowing Design ' Barcelona style !
