It has a protective, mid-height windshield to block the cold, compliant suspension calibrations to handle the bumps and holes in the trail and electric start makes it easy to get the adventure started. And speaking of adventures, a large rear storage bag has space to stash extra layers, gloves and snacks for a long day on the trail. The new race master cylinder is a big upgrade for 2014 to deliver more stopping power.
