CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
• YZ-Style Chassis
• YZ/WR250-inspired semi-double-cradle frame uses a main frame of cast and forged aluminum sections, with high-strength steel downtubes for excellent strength and rigidity characteristics.
• Advanced Swingarm
• Asymmetrical swingarm provides excellent strength/rigidity balance and a dynamic look. Cast aluminum crossmembers, extruded arms and a 22mm rear axle are carefully tuned for optimum handling.
• Fully Adjustable Forks
• Fully adjustable 46mm fork provides 10.6 inches of wheel travel. A forged lower triple clamp and a cast upper one help give outstanding front-end feel. An aluminum steering stem reduces weight.
• Linkage-Style Shock
• Linkage-mounted rear shock provides 10.6 inches of travel with adjusters for compression damp- ing, rebound damping and spring preload—and features a large 14mm rod and 46mm cylinder for excellent damping and fade resistance.
• Dual Wave-Type Disc Brakes
• Wave brake rotors front and rear, including a large 250mm front disc, reduce unsprung weight and provide excellent performance. And the rear brake pedal is forged aluminum for durability.
