On The Pegs Vol. 3 Issue 7 - July 2018 P 41 DESCRIPTION: IMA is a system that divides the power train in two differentiated blocks: the electric motor, and the gear/clutch box. GENERAL BENEFITS *INDEPENDENT MOTOR: This architecture allows a clean and more convenient motor maintenance, better electric isolation, and a very fast “in-race” motor re- placement in case of failure. *SPRING MULTIDISC CLUTCH vs DIAPHRAGM: Although it is three times heavier, we have shifted from the former diaphragm clutch to a spring one be- cause it provides a better control, higher precision, higher inertial properties and more setting possibilities. This turns into a more sensible control in classic riding style or a faster response in modern riding style, depending upon the chosen set- ting. *5 SPEED GEARBOX vs SINGLE SPEED: Including 5 speed allows a higher con- trol in sections and a more comfortable ride in intersections. It has also a direct impact on energy savings.
