The ergonomic design has been fine-tuned to offer riders a sportier feel. Lower handlebars contribute to a more aggressive riding stance, empowering riders with improved control and a heightened sense of connection with the bike. The raised rearsets, meanwhile, adjust the rider's foot position, allowing for better weight distribution and facilitating more dynamic maneuvering through corners and straights.
