With an upside-down fork featuring 41 mm stanchions and 240 mm of wheel travel at the front, paired with a rear swingarm and hydraulic monoshock absorber, riders can expect exceptional handling and stability, whether tackling rough terrain or smooth pavement. The dual 260 mm disc brakes with floating calipers ensure reliable stopping power, offering peace of mind during spirited rides.
