The resulting combination of light weight and great strength offers enhanced responsiveness. In the corners and off the straights, this translates into better acceleration. For longer life, each chassis is shot-blasted and anodized.

The rigid torsion of the front end offers improved handling, while the hollow front axle reduces unsprung weight. Suspension settings are fully customizable to meet the requirements of most riders.
