Chassis/Suspension

• Front disc brake features a twin-piston caliper with a large-diameter 336 mm stainless steel rotor. Combined with the rear single-piston caliper and 296 mm stainless steel rotor, the brakes provide excellent stopping power.
• Large 41 mm extended front fork provides 5.1 inches of plush yet responsive travel.
• Dual chromed rear shocks with five-position preload adjustment feature an advanced internal valve system for a comfortable ride.
