Features

Innovative front-end geometry with reduced kingpin inclination — places the wheel pivot in the centre of the front tyre for increased stability and consistent steering through the entire steering throw
Paired with a new wider upper suspension arm pivot
New gearboxes specific to front and rear: front gearbox has a 3.5 deg. inclined pinion gear angle; rear gearbox has a 0 deg. pinion gear angle and centre-mounted rear chassis brace mount
Both gearboxes feature larger bearing sizes (6x13x5mm flanged, up from 6x12x4mm non-flanged) for longer bearing and ring-and-pinion life
Reduced hardware on anti-roll bar cap for easy assembly and maintenance
Increased strength around pinion gear and outer cap bearing fitment areas
Updated front upper suspension arm with added moulded hinge pin bushing to reduce slop and increase suspension dynamics
New rear wing mount with adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, aerodynamic shape, and extra clearance for shock position adjustment
Two wing height options and three wing angle positions: 0, -2, and -4 deg.
New rear wing with more vertical fins for increased straight-line stability and taller rear wickerbill height for increased downforce
Two wing buttons included: one traditional flat button and one vertical stabilising fin
New rear chassis brace centrally mounted to the gearbox with three chassis flex options and optional turnbuckle ball
