The tubular steel trellis frame is a marvel of engineering, providing a solid foundation for the bike's lightweight structure. Advanced suspension components, including a 41 mm upside-down Kayaba front fork and an adjustable rear shock, ensure a smooth ride over a variety of surfaces. The bike’s braking system, featuring a 330 mm front disc and a 245 mm rear disc, both with ABS, provides reliable stopping power, ensuring that you can ride with confidence.
