• swingarm<br />
Lighter, with new geometry and stunningly<br />
beautiful: the aluminium swingarm cast<br />
in a single piece. The sophisticated<br />
casting process provides unlimited<br />
geometric options – the swingarm can be<br />
laid out precisely in line with the designers<br />
requirements. One pleasant side effect:<br />
nothing can break the weld seams as they<br />
are nowhere to be found.<br />
• PDS suspension<br />
There could be nothing better for enduro use: low weight,<br />
low maintenance and shock absorber replacement in a<br />
matter of seconds. The greatest benefit: more ground<br />
clearance <strong>com</strong>pared to a linkage system. Where nothing<br />
protrudes below the swingarm, nothing can be damaged<br />
by stones or rock ledges.<br />
The new PDS monoshock has independent, fully adjustable<br />
rebound and high / low-speed <strong>com</strong>pression damping. 7 mm<br />
more length and a flatter installation position provide even<br />
higher progression. The setting has been perfectly tuned to<br />
the new chassis.<br />
• frame<br />
Advanced engineering: one of the lightest<br />
and most stable frame designs ever.<br />
Manufactured from high-quality chromemolybdenum<br />
with wider profiles in the<br />
front frame triangle. This leads to greater<br />
lateral stiffness and with that better<br />
cornering safety and manoeuvrability. By<br />
contrast, stiffness has been reduced in<br />
the longitudinal direction – shocks from<br />
the rear wheel are absorbed elastically.<br />
