MASTER THE RIDE

Frame

Subframe

The innovative use of the rear fuel tank as the main structural element of the subframe, keeps weight low and eliminates design complexity.

ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

Handlebar

The lightweight tapered 808 mm wide handlebars are rubber mounted to reduce vibrations. Their width and shape are aimed at providing maximum control in all situations.

Footpegs
