New lower pivot point

Under acceleration and braking, the rear squat, which is caused by weight transfer, improves traction

The position of the pivot point influences the ability to squat

It can be controlled with softer shocks, but this causes drawbacks on suspension capabilities and comfort.

However, it can be controlled with geometry by adjusting the height of pivot point

By lowering pivot point we have reduced the amount of force required to squat

Benefit:

Gives better traction and allows the suspension to be fine tuned for comfort and performance.

Double A-arm with dive-control geometryDouble A-arm with dive-control geometry New double A-arm front

suspension geometry with dive-control geometry

Increased suspension travel to 9 inches

Uses a shortened spindle for reduced kickback

Uses a reduced kingpin axis to keep the vehicle in straight line when braking

A more comfortable and predictable ride

Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) ONLY rider-selectable assist

levels power-steering on the market 3 modes (MIN, MED, MAX)

Direct-link magnetic field sensors for quicker response to steering input than competitors

Less kickback, more feedback because of higher final gear ratio than competitor's systems

High capacity fade-resistant 50-amp motor

Increased braking performance

• New outboard (in wheels) hydraulic disc braking system inspired by race-proven setup on Renegade

• 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers

• New single, rear twin-piston hydraulic disc brake (214mm) in right rear wheel

• Fastest acceleration combined with efficient braking

Page 6: Increasing rear squat for better traction New lower pivot point  Under acceleration and braking, the rear squat, which is caused by weight transfer, improves

Reduced unsprung weight

• New center-less, cast-aluminum wheels featuring computer-optimized design

• Computer-optimized to increase strength where needed, while removing weight where no material is needed.
