Chassis & Suspension Overhaul

Frame: 70% redesigned twin-spar aluminum, new subframe mounts, triple clamps, steering stem, fork axle—all tuned for enhanced lateral and torsional rigidity, yet more compliant and stable 

Fork: 49?mm Showa USD with new springs, bending-control valves, seals, oil—and 12.2? travel 

Rear Shock: Updated Pro-Link linkage (now one piece) and revised leverage ratio; service access is significantly easier 

Brakes/Wheels: Updated front caliper with improved seals and consistent feel; DID black rims with Dunlop Geomax MX33 tires are standard

 Engine & Electronics

Engine: 449.8?cc Unicam SOHC single-cylinder (96×62.1?mm, 13.5:1 compression) with redesigned header, straighter intake/airbox flow, and new ECU maps for smoother mid-range and throttle control 

Electronics: Rider control via engine mode switch (Standard, Smooth, Aggressive), plus selectable traction control (HSTC), three-mode launch control, and push-button electric start
