RACE-READY SUSPENSION
RACE READY
Experience unmatched suspension performance with the highly adjustable 49mm Showa Coil Spring Front Fork. Kashima Coating creates a hard, low-friction surface on the fork's outer tubes. Large-diameter inner tubes with titanium coating deliver smooth, low-friction action and allow the use of large damping pistons for race-winning performance.
RACE-READY SUSPENSION
GAIN TRACTION
The adjustable dual-range (high- and low-speed) compression damping, adjustable rebound damping, and adjustable preload come thanks to the new Uni-Trak® rear suspension system, featuring a Showa shock with Kashima Coating outer tube. The result is unmatched damping and rear-wheel traction.
RACE-READY SUSPENSION
PERFECT FIT
The XTRIG ROCS-TECH (Revolutionary Opposed Clamping System) clamps the upper fork tubes from opposite directions helping to reduce inner tube distortion and allowing the fork to flex naturally. The PHDS (Progressive Handlebar Damping System) absorbs vibrations while maintaining steering precision. This also increases the available handlebar mounting which can be adjusted to 12 different positions. A factory-style aluminum Renthal® Fatbar® handlebar comes standard.
