A significant update with lighter pistons, a revised cam profile, slightly higher compression and a single titanium 4-2-1 exhaust, aiming for better throttle response and about 8 percent better economy. It added Brembo monobloc front calipers on lighter discs, a new instrument cluster and about 2 kg less weight than 2011.
