Front and rear suspensions are provided by a Showa 43 mm upside-down fork and a Sachs hydraulic monoshock, both of which offer adjustable settings for preload and damping, allowing riders to tailor the bike's dynamics to their personal preferences. The braking system, featuring dual 320 mm Brembo discs up front and a single 220 mm Brembo disc at the rear, ensures stopping power is as formidable as its acceleration. With a comfortable seat height of 810 mm and a fuel capacity of 22 litres, the Tuono 1000R is ready for both spirited rides and longer journeys. **
