Advanced frame construction and improved riding performance
The basis of these innovations is the newly designed steel trellis frame, which is intended to provide unparalleled maneuverability. An aluminum swingarm and the WP suspension contribute to precise and reliable handling. In the 2024 models, the frame and seat height have been revised in addition to a longer wheelbase, which should enable improved cornering behavior while maintaining stability. The Vitpilen models also benefit from new, lighter handlebars. Instead of the stub handlebars, there are now also tubular handlebars, although these are mounted lower than on the sister model.
