A motorcycle with no ordinary front fork, whose front wheel is steered through its hub.

Tesi means thesis, and the idea came from Marconi’s degree project. Hub-centre steering separates steering from suspension.

Materials: Aluminium frame, Ducati V-twin engine

Manufacture: Made in Rimini.

The front swingarm instead of a fork.

The aluminium frame running round the engine.
