I like them better than their €500 model!
"Dual functionality: when open, it's a rear-view mirror, when closed it becomes an aerodynamic wing "
"The downforce is around 4 Kg at 300 km/h with both mirror closed"
One of those good ideas that may never be fully realized. I mean, go to track, leave mirrors on? Or have a look behind you, decide to fold mirrors down at around 180 KPH in traffic, thinking, "now I can hit 300."
Fashionably in theme, very pretty, very Rizoma.

Design Curmudgeon critique:
Wingthing design, très elegante. 10 points
....... blinker, fail 0 points
hinge - wiat, what? ohhh - breaks theme, but kind of industrial cool. 5 points.
Cascading expense of "other" parts sold separately, to make it work surpassing €500 for mirrors.
Now I'm insulted. Thanks for playing, try again.
For €500 I want the mother fker with integrated blinkers and I want it one part with everything I need for my bike in one price.
Blinkers working folded or up. That would be a cool design.
I'd rather have them fold up for lane splitting. That would be 10 points.

+1
But I don't think it is for track racers .
When I see owners adding $ 3000 exhausts to make noise (I'm jealous but my ears are grateful to me) or the carbon part that makes the difference when you park the motorcycle (to make it shine ! yes I just have one)
.. $ 400 to add false wings it makes sense no ?
I find them nice .. if only they had blinkers

If I didn't already buy my CRG arrow bar ends I would probably consider these, they look BEAUTIFUL . However, I might be worried about visibility . They look to be slightly narrower than the stock mirrors and all I can see in them are my elbows...
I just took delivery of my V2 today and its good thing i have these on the way because the haul bikes driver broke the stock left side mirror moving the bike. not sure how tbh. its being held up by tape right now it snapped in half. atleast the wiring didnt get damaged.
Welcome to Ducati, they break if you look at them hard enough. I hope these rizomas work out, but I was thinking about it and I want my mirrors available at all times on the road. I think the swivelling may get old pretty quick but in any case they look like nice mirrors

If my V4 didn't already have wings, I'd def get these!

The swivel is for pizza night having determined the situation for actual use of the down-force is non-existant. Which pisses me off. Because they're really cool looking. Too small for the new V4 though. It looks like a fat lady with tiny ear rings. Seriously sexy on the 959. I'd just put them in wing mode every time I parked & swagger away like it was a slow motion explosion in a Michael Bay movie.
@Mi5sileV2, Ducati thinks of the mirrors like a symbiotic support for lesser species. Look at all the peripheral companies selling alternatives. It's like that. I never see mirrors on bikes at Ducati dealers IN ITALY, if that tells you something.

So true. New V4 is so damn wide from the front. Definitely the least sexiest angle.

Bar end mirrors for the win! These are nice but pointless

They fit on the 959/1299?
Seems the downforce pails in comparison to the wings, and the mirrors will probably make more of a gimmick than serve a utilitarian purpose. However, they should hit the high marks for aesthetics. Should look real nice as long as the carbon pattern is similar.
