Accessories for Bimota DB3 Mantra

Accessories for the Bimota DB3 Mantra

The Bimota DB3 Mantra is a naked bike for road riding, whether that means everyday journeys or time spent on winding roads. Those different settings put braking in different parts of the ride: frequent stops in traffic, or slowing down before the next bend. That makes brakes a sensible focus when looking at accessories for your Mantra, rather than assuming every road bike needs the same additions.

What riders usually fit to the Bimota DB3 Mantra

Here the accessory choice centres on brakes. Think about the riding you actually do before deciding what matters most to you. A commute with junctions and changing traffic involves repeated braking, while a relaxed ride out of town has a different rhythm. On a twisty road, braking also helps you settle your approach to each corner.

• Brakes: these are worth considering if you want to focus on how your DB3 Mantra feels as you slow for traffic or set up for a bend. For a rider who uses the bike in town, the many short stops are a familiar part of the journey. For weekend rides, the focus may be on arriving at corners with a reassuring sense of control. Braking is among the accessory brands represented for this bike.

There is no need to frame every choice around riding quickly. A Mantra used mainly for short local trips may call for a different way of thinking about brakes from one taken out for longer stretches of road. Start with the journeys you make most often and the points where you rely on braking. That keeps the emphasis on your own riding, rather than on a list of accessories that would make little difference to the way you use this naked bike.
