  • Trick, works-style clutch lever features race-spec barrel adjuster for on-the-fly adjustability.
Chassis/Suspension:
  • YZ250F-style front-brake caliper and wave-style front and rear discs minimize unsprung weight and provide excellent stopping power.
  • The KYB® 48mm forks feature the Speed-Sensitive System that uses piston speed to control damping force for super-precise handling and a smooth ride.

  • Lightweight 21-inch front and 19-inch rear Excel rims provide exceptional durability and help reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension, performance and handling.
  • Tapered rear wheel spacers ease sliding the rear wheel into place for quicker tire changes.
