The front features 43mm fully adjustable USD forks, while the rear boasts a progressive linkage with a fully adjustable Showa monoshock, supported by an elegant aluminum single-sided swingarm. Stopping power is equally impressive, with radially mounted four-piston calipers at the front and a two-piston caliper at the rear, providing exceptional braking performance.
