The WP USD front fork and rear mono shock suspension provide 160 mm and 180 mm of travel, respectively, ensuring that the bike can tackle rough terrain with ease while offering a comfortable ride. Stopping power is delivered by twin Brembo discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, allowing for confident braking in any scenario. With a ground clearance of 195 mm and a seat height of 855 mm, the Supermoto T is designed to accommodate a wide range of riders, making it accessible without sacrificing performance. **
