The fully adjustable Ohlins suspension—both front and rear—provides premium handling and comfort, enabling riders to tailor the setup to their preferences. Complementing the high-performance suspension is a robust braking system that includes radially mounted four-piston calipers and ABS, ensuring powerful, controlled stopping power. The bike also features a sophisticated traction control system, which adds an extra layer of safety and confidence on varying road conditions. With a fuel capacity of 16 liters, the Supersport S offers ample range for longer journeys, while its adjustable seat height (810 mm in the lowest setting) caters to riders of various heights. **
