The bike's suspension system comprised a 41 mm upside-down Showa telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
