The new 2010 models
have arrived.
New features for 2010:
The changes involve the following
parts (descriptions concerns both 2 and 4 stroke versions):
• New radiator
and new position of the radiator header tank for better ergonomics and
efficiency.
• New rear suspension settings developed with the racing
team which improves the overall working of the shock and makes the bike
easier to move at the rear.
• New 2T ignition settings to make the very
low power more linear. We have found good improvements in this area using
also the new carburettor settings.
• New setting carburettor, made exclusively
for 2-stroke version, in order to reduce consumption and to make the
carburation as efficient as possible.
• Air filter box improved to be
more efficient.

power. |
