The chrome-molybdenum steel tubular space frame offers a blend of strength and lightness, weighing in at just 102.9 kg (226.9 pounds). The WP-USD AER 48 front suspension, with an impressive 280 mm of travel, and the WP rear shock absorber with linkage ensure that the FS 450 can handle bumps and turns with ease. The Brembo braking system, featuring a 310 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, provides exceptional stopping power and confidence. Riders will also appreciate the adjustable seat height of 890 mm, which can cater to a range of rider heights, enhancing comfort on longer rides. **
