Hydraulic upside-down fork provided with outer adjuster
for rebound, compression, and preload (for inner springs
of fork legs).
Stanchion diameter:

Travel along leg axis:
127 mm.
Rear
Of the progressive type, thanks to a rocker arm
connecting frame and upper pivot point of the shock
absorber and an arch connected at the bottom to
swingarm. The shock absorber enables the adjustment
of rebound and compression damping and spring preload.
At the bottom pivot point it is connected to a light-alloy
swingarm. The swingarm hinges on a pivot pin passing
through the frame and engine.
The whole system gives the bike excellent stability.
