REASONS TO RIDE
CHASSIS
Developed to deliver performance that lives up to its looks, the dedicated chassis design has all the right ingredients to offer an exceptional ride both on and off-road.
From the optimized swingarm length, to the steering head angle and commanding riding position, the geometry and ergonomics were designed, developed, and tested to ensure complete rider confidence and control off-road and a comfortable and agile ride on it.
The Scrambler underlines its dual-purpose credentials with premium Marzocchi™ suspension, developed exclusively for the Scrambler. The 45mm USD forks and piggyback twin rear suspension units combine the sensitivity needed to iron out ripples in the road with the support required to cope with off-road riding. Progressive damping and hydraulic bump stop technology ensures superb rider feel and comfort with the capability to soak up big off-road compressions. And for extreme off-road adventure, the XE features long-travel ‘twin-spring’ rear suspension units and full adjustability front and rear, now with even finer control, allowing riders to dial in the perfect setup.
Tough side-laced stainless-steel spoked wheels, dual purpose tubeless tires, and powerful brakes complete the class-leading design chassis specification, with the 1200 XE benefiting from the very latest class-leading Brembo™ Stylema® calipers and 320mm discs, while the 1200 X is fitted with high quality Nissin calipers and 310mm discs.
