The SPS (Sport Production Special) was the rarest and most race-bred 851/888 road bike, essentially a Corsa works racer with lights. It used bigger valves and a Corsa cam for about 120 hp, carbon-fibre tank, seat and silencers, a fanless racing radiator and full Öhlins suspension with Brembo Gold Series brakes.
