Brute strength at the lowest possible weight is what this bike is all about and can be seen in the intelligent I-beam design on the front and rear fenders, which guarantee maximum stability at no extra weight. The new aggressive-looking graphics were not only a necessary change, but were designed to send a clear message to the competition that this is not a bike that should be taken lightly.
