CHASSIS
• Revised inner and outer frame with a thinner front downtube for a balance of rigidity and flex, contributing to a calmer front-end feel and enhanced cornering performance.
• Updated fork damping for improved bump absorption and feel.
• Redesigned rear shock with better low- and midspeed damping and a new hand-operated lowspeed compression clicker for easy adjustment.
ENGINE
• Redesigned intake port creates a stronger tumble effect in the combustion chamber, leading to more efficient combustion, smoother, and more linear throttle response, particularly in the low-to-mid RPM range.
• Added resonator and duct in the air intake and a new resonator in the exhaust system makes a quieter overall sound for rider comfort and compliance with noise regulations.
CLUTCH
• New hydraulic clutch gives a lighter lever feel, smoother engagement, consistent bite point, and eliminates in-ride adjustments.
• Redesigned clutch inner hub gives a broader lubrication area for more stable performance and durability.
ELECTRONICS
• ECU lock function( via Power Tuner App) is an industry-first theft deterrent on an off-road motorcycle which prevents unauthorised start-up with a password-protected lock.
