Features
This bike comes loaded with features that make it stand out from the competition.

This new 2-piece subframe weighs just 1.8kgs but offers exceptional strength and durability.
After countless hours of testing, the rider’s triangle has been repositioned to step comfort of the rider to the next level, making it one of the most comfortable off-road bikes to ride on the market today. And, with a flatter seat, there is no restriction of movement so you can best position your weight to gain best position to wrap around corners.
The new 7.2 litre tank features an all new fuel tank pump and position, that let’s you take even more fuel out of the tank before you have to refill, giving you longer running times.
With a redesigned handlebar-mounted map select switch, activate launch and traction control, Quickshift functionality and to toggle between the two engine maps to tailor to your ride, and race conditions.
Allowing upshifting with the throttle wide open and without the use of the clutch- the Quickshift functionality is a gamechanger (please note this is from second gear up).
