Built on a chromoly-steel trellis frame, the chassis balances sturdy stability with lightness, engineered to thrive over rough tracks while preserving agility for tight maneuvers. The suspension suite is pure off-road excellence: a WP XPLOR USD front fork (Ø 48 mm) delivering 265 mm of travel, paired with a WP XPLOR rear shock linked via the Pro-Lever linkage for 250 mm of compliant suspension. Ground clearance sits at an impressive 265 mm, preparing you for big hits and technical terrain.

Braking duties are handled by a Brembo twin-piston floating caliper with a 300 mm front disc and a single-piston Brembo rear caliper on a 240 mm disc, both equipped with switchable Bosch ABS offering both road and off-road modes—including fully disengaged for bare-knuckle trail work.

Wheel setup proves its off-road intent: spoked aluminium-rim wheels — 21″ front, 18″ rear — wearing 90/90-21 and 140/80-18 tyres, built for rocky terrain and loose surfaces.

Ergonomically, the bike offers a seat height of 935 mm, giving commanding ground presence and control in varied terrain. The wheelbase measures 1506 mm, while the steering angle (rake) sits at 62.3°, tuned for stability on fast and technical trails. Fuel capacity is generous at 13.3 L, and the weight—152 kg (without fuel)—keeps the bike responsive yet planted.

Modern electronics are front and centre with a 4.2″ TFT dashboard featuring an anti-glare bonding and a handy USB-C charging port positioned below, keeping navigation and communication tools powered on the trail.
