For the first time, the SMR also receives an adjustable 48mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork, which features a new mid-valve piston and a new hydro stop.
The rear suspension is handled by the WP XACT shock which benefits from an updated linkage with renewed seals, and smaller diameter linkage bolts.
An updated 1-piece inlet sleeve and snorkel design enhances the air intake, while an updated fuel tank roll protects the frame against wear. Changes to the bodywork improve ergonomics, while also giving the bike a new look.
