Day 7 Dakar 2014: Barreda Wins Another

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

The route led across the Andes and towards the Bolivian border.

(Skip to 7:35 for the fast ones.) CABS is a system used by Superbike teams that makes use of the R1’s digitally controlled throttle. When you change up a gear, the bike blips in the perfect amount of revs to save time on track and make downshifts as quick and easy as clutch-less upshifts.
