ENGINEThe 304cc has been developed specifically for enduro use: this has resulted in a compression ratio (12.8) that is not too steep, but much more suitable for all-round off-roading.

Lots of torque in the low range, with a full and enjoyable delivery at all revs without losing power in the highs and without the sometimes excessive nastiness and explosiveness of many 450s.

MAPS AND TRACTIONThe character of the engine is customisable and even more refined thanks to new engine maps with refined engine brake management: you can choose one of 3 dedicated mappings (hard/soft/standard), directly from the handlebar-mounted Multiswitch. From the same instrument you can also control traction control on 10 levels.

CHASSISLike its 250 and 450 sisters, it boasts a chassis compartment that is unrivalled in the enduro scene. Forged, extruded and stamped parts combine to give you the ultimate balance of lightness and stiffness, agility and precision.

A quality suspension must ensure super-precise handling, using every mm of travel to filter the terrain and return only what the rider needs

That’s why we chose KYB using a 48mm pressurised closed-cartridge, 300mm travel, ultra-adjustable SSS (Speed Sensitive System) fork with adjustable preload, rebound and compression damping.

The monoshock is also Kayaba, with 315mm of wheel travel. The brake discs are 270mm at the front and 245mm at the rear.

WIFICOM E APP WIGETAlso standard is the WIFI COM, which contributes to a complete electronic package to tailor the motorbike to you. And thanks to the dedicated ‘WiGET’ app, it’s like having several motorbikes in one.

With a simple click on your smartphone, the bike’s ECU can be set to one of the maps developed by Fantic Racing, or you can create your own ideal engine setup for all types of terrain and environmental conditions.

You can also read the bike’s hour meter, add service notes, read diagnostics and view engine data in real time.
