Gearbox: 6-speed
Features a constant-mesh 6-speed transmission. The extra gear acts as a dedicated overdrive, significantly lowering RPMs at highway speeds compared to 5-speed competitors.
Clutch Type: Assist and Slipper
The Assist function reduces lever effort in stop-and-go traffic, while the Slipper function prevents rear-wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts, enhancing stability on descent.
Final Drive: Chain Drive
Uses a standard heavy-duty chain drive. The 2024 update includes better chain tensioners and a redesigned guard to handle the dust and grit of off-tarmac sections.
