The upside-down fork used in the HP2 Megamoto is precisely designed for active use. Both compression and rebound stage are adjustable, enabling perfect adaptation to the prevailing conditions.

Rear wheel suspension
The combination of the forged single-sided swing arm - modified for the intended purpose of the HP2 Megamoto - the Paralever principle and the high-quality Öhlins single suspension strut is simply perfect. The very finest response, maximum stability and of course adjustable in compression and rebound stage. Spring preload is also adjustable to continuously variable levels.
