- A thicker rear shock rod, a super-light titanium shock spring, reduced-friction Kashima coating of internals and a revised swingarm all work together for fantastic rear wheel control and a sweet ride.
|
- Speed sensitive system, 48mm Kayaba fork tubes move the TCV (transfer control valves) above the fork springs, so that damping force is now controlled by piston speed. Along with a bigger base valve hole, the result is a smooth ride and super-precise handling.
|
- Increased fork pitch, i.e., distance between fork tubes, also gives great handling.
|
- Carburetion revisions and a new exhaust pipe meet FIM requirements and produce arm-stretching, broadband power.
|
- Light and strong Renthal aluminum handlebar in new clamps with 10mm of adjustability.
|
- Aggressive new front fender and front numberplate up the style factor.
|
- Tapered rear wheel spacers ease sliding the rear wheel into place, for quicker tire changes.
