Chassis/Suspension

• 41 mm inverted HMAS cartridge front fork features spring preload, rebound and compression damping adjustability for precise suspension tuning.
• Light aluminum steering stem.
• Vertical-piston master-cylinder system produces superior leverage ratio at the front brake lever for higher braking efficiency, excellent feel, and controllability. This layout permits the use of a longer brake lever, which means more braking force with less effort from the rider.
• Braking system features twin four-piston radial-mounted front calipers, dual 310 mm front discs and a single 220 mm rear disc for optimum stopping power.
• Hollow Fine Die-Cast (DC) frame uses four large castings for ultra light weight.
• Exclusive, MotoGP derived Unit Pro-Link Rear Suspension.

Engine/Drivetrain

• Lightweight stainless steel four-into-one exhaust features inline-exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance.
• Smooth-shifting close-ratio six-speed transmission with ratios closely matched to the engine's powerband.
• Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation ensures high-rpm performance and durability with 16,000-mile maintenance intervals.
• Cylinder head features angled valve insets to improve airflow.
• Double-pivot tensioner for cam-chain durability.
• Nutless connecting rods contribute to quicker acceleration.
• Oil jets located beneath the pistons for extra friction reduction and cooling.
• Lightweight magnesium head cover.
• Idle-air control valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake.
• Nose-mounted, two-stage ram-air system provides high volume of cool air to the airbox for linear power delivery and incredible engine performance.
• Lightweight, forged-aluminum pistons incorporate special shot peening for added strength.
• Iridium-tip spark plugs improve fuel combustion and performance.
• Liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 599 cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine features oversquare bore and stroke of 67 x 42.5 mm.
• Non-resonance knock sensor maintains optimum spark advance while constantly monitoring combustion performance during mid- to high-rpm operation.
• Cylinder head features two springs per intake valve and one spring per exhaust valve for optimum high-rpm valve operation and durability.
• Light neodymium magnet ACG.
