The top-end of the DOHC single has DNA from the Rotax V990 which powers the Aprilia RSV 1000 R sportbike while the crankcase clutch and transmission are specifically designed for the rigors of off-road riding. Its free-flow design with the largest piston bore intake valves and throttle body of the segment delivers awesome power and great potential for performance tuning. A sophisticated EFI system with superfast micro-controller optimizes performance at every rpm compensating for both temperature and altitude throttle response is instant. ALTEC aluminum frame Aerospace-grade aluminum in dual-pyramidal design is exceptionally strong and lightweight. Unique aluminum lock-bolt fastening system eliminates the need for welds. Strength comes from computer-optimized design rather than heavier or added materials. The pyramidal structure has been proven on BRP s Ski-Doo REV and REV-XP snowmobiles. R-type double A-arm front suspension The new R-Type forged aluminum double A-arm front suspension delivers razor-sharp handling remarkable bump absorption and confident tracking. The radical design with inverted dual-piston caliper on the inside of the disc enables placement of the ball-joints and kingpin axis deep inside the wheel for reduced scrub and steering kickback as well as self-correcting behavior under hard braking. All this in a lightweight package with less unsprung weight than competitive designs for a better ride and improved control.KYB HPG piggyback shocks Aluminum-bodied shocks with compression and rebound adjustment and threaded pre-load adjustment.
