Rear
Of the progressive type, thanks to a rocker arm
connecting frame and upper pivot point of the shock
absorber and an arch connected at the bottom to
swingarm. The shock absorber enables the adjustment
of rebound and compression (only 900S) damping and
spring preload. At the bottom pivot point it is connected

through the engine. The whole system gives the bike
excellent stability.
