The diamond-shaped aluminum frame was fitted on the front end with a 43 mm fully-adjustable telescopic fork with 130 mm wheel travel, taking care of the front suspension. The rear end was equipped with a preload and rebound-adjustable shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel, providing firm suspension and reliable handling performance.
