The chrome-moly tubular space frame provides exceptional strength and durability, while the WP-USD Xplor 48 front suspension and WP Xplor PDS rear shock absorber offer an impressive 305 mm of travel, absorbing even the roughest bumps with ease. The brakes, featuring single discs on both the front and rear with floating calipers, provide reliable stopping power, essential for navigating steep descents and tight corners. With an adjustable seat height of 960 mm (37.8 inches), riders can customize their fit for maximum comfort, making it suitable for a wider range of riders.
