Just reach down with your left hand and turn the four-position dial. The rear swingarm is a box section aluminum unit that incorporates an eccentric chain adjuster. The combination of stout fork legs, a rigid frame and swingarm, and a good rear shock add up to a very stable, controlled ride that works well for freeway cruising. Crank up the shock and backroad scratching is surprisingly easy. Braking performance is up to par with a pair of 296mm rotors up front backed with a 255mm rear.
Calipers are two piston units all around.
The bars themselves are mounted on top of the upper clamp around the fork legs leaving the fork caps exposed for easy maintenance. The clip-on style bars angle back nicely but would feel better with more drop. Complaints about the bike were limited to the lack of front running lights, the wimpy front suspension and the inconvenience of having to remove the seat to access the helmet lock. Only time will tell if it is a successful gamble, but we've got our money in Triumph's corner. I thought this bike was going to be a three cylinder version of a 1985 Ninja 900, but I wasn't even close.
