PRO GuIDe cooling flow of air to the engine . With the addition of a new texture , the airflow between the bike and the ground is accelerated , which decreases the pressure - this translates into greater vertical load . Although not intuitively positioned , the rear spoiler was originally used in MotoGP to control the rear tyre temperature - its main function being to create vertical load directly onto the swingarm , not the chassis . The positioning on Diablo X also allows the rotation of the tyre to generate an additional load by spinning air closer to the tyre , right against this spoiler . The fins in the seat cowl clean the airflow to reduce resistance and above all stabilise the bike when braking . The design produces additional vertical
load , achieving a more stable bike and better braking . The new side covers have achieved a new style based on aerodynamics and airflow management . An important difference to the previous side covers is that these updates have a softer profile with an improved , cleaner design that follows the chassis and the rear seat cowl forms . This new design reveals technical elements of the original motorcycle , such as the rear suspension regulator . In collaboration with Luimoto , Puig designed a special edition seat design to complete the styling harmony .
