The bike’s tubular steel trellis frame not only contributes to its lightweight design but also provides exceptional stability and agility. The front brakes feature dual semi-floating discs and radially mounted Monobloc Brembo calipers, ensuring powerful stopping power complemented by ABS as standard. The suspension system, including 43mm upside-down forks at the front and a progressive linkage rear monoshock, delivers a smooth ride while maintaining excellent handling characteristics.
