White Motorcycle Concepts has partnered with Pininfarina, unveiling an innovative aerodynamic motorcycle.

At the ‘Design and Performance in Motion – Shaping Two-Wheel Aerodynamics’ event at Pininfarina’s Turin wind tunnel, WMC founder and CEO Robert White showcased the WMC250EV electric land speed record bike, the WMC300E+ three-wheeled first responder bike, and the WMCSRS, developed with Zero Motorcycles.

Pininfarina also revealed a new design study exploring how WMC’s patented aerodynamic duct could be integrated into a future street motorcycle with a compact hybrid powertrain.

First introduced on the WMC250EV to reduce drag at high speeds, the duct also improves efficiency on the WMC300E+ at lower speeds. The WMCSRS adapts the concept for everyday riders using a Zero SR/S electric sportbike.

The duct channels air through the bike from front to rear, minimizing drag and enhancing performance. Pininfarina’s study demonstrates how a fresh motorcycle design could maximize these advantages while maintaining a familiar yet distinctive look.
