Up front, the WP USD forks with 285 mm of travel and a single disc brake equipped with a Magura 4-piston caliper deliver confident handling and stopping power. Meanwhile, the rear PDS monoshock with 310 mm of travel ensures that every bump is absorbed, offering a smooth ride across varied terrains.
