Q. Any other features that caught your eye?

A. At night the adaptive cornering lighting is really lovely and a helpful rider aid. The illuminated dials give off a soft light that helps with navigating the controls at night without being too distracting. Also, one morning it was a little chilly so I switched on the heated seat and grips and ** it just took that edge away ** instantly. With all the work that’s been done, it’s a really nice bike to ride in all terrains. I can’t wait to get my hands on one!

ha subito reso il freddo un po' meno pungente
Explanation:
Il freddo era pungente..quindi significa togliere un po' di quella sensazione fredda

to take that edge away significa togliere il grado estremo di qualcosa, renderlo meno forte. Si usa per cold, hunger e altre sensazioni.
