An automatic transmission lets riders easily switch between 2WD and 4WD, while dual-ratio selector and engine braking provide the optimal power delivery according to each scenario. A rear rack can hold 135 kg of gear, making it easy to haul some spare tires and fuel for the really rough trails. Electronic power steering, tilt steering and compression-adjustable valve shocks are standard.
