The front suspension, a Marzocchi 43 mm upside-down fork, offers 130 mm of travel for excellent handling, while the rear features a progressive linkage with a Sachs monoshock that provides adjustable preload and rebound settings. This careful balance of suspension performance, combined with double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensures riders can enjoy confident stopping power. Practicality is not overlooked, either, with a comfortable seat height of 800 mm (31.5 inches) that accommodates a variety of rider heights, making it accessible for many. **
