results in identical wheelbase and rake and trail numbers. The second generation 848 Evo had the same monoblock brake calipers and the same frame with the steering damper mount as the 1098/1198. The 848 EVO Corse Special Edition uses the 330 mm front brake disk from the 1098/1198. The rear suspension, including the suspension linkage is the same, using identical Showa shocks. Many components of the exhaust system are shared, including the exhaust canisters that house the muffler and catalytic converter. Despite the difference in engine displacement, the two bikes share valve angles and magnesium valve covers. The oil cooler and radiator are also very similar. The transmissions are different with the ratios on the 848 being closer together.
