• 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 />
