For this Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, the official Hondas of Marc Márquez and Dani Pedrosa used new seat backrests with a more angular design.
The first hypothesis that comes to mind is that this is only intended to be aesthetically closer to the saddle of the 1000 CBR series, and not the result of any aerodynamic or technological evolution.
For the moment, neither Honda nor its official drivers have communicated on the subject.
