  • CVT features high and low ranges, plus reverse
  • Combined with the engine power characteristics, provides instantaneous acceleration
  • Rider can select two- or four-wheel-drive operation by pressing a button located on the dash

  • Chassis offers the right balance of bump absorption while limiting understeer
  • Able to tackle corners in either a drift or grip style and operate beyond the limits of its rivals
