TETRA-LEVER SHAFT DRIVE
To ensure that the Concours 14 ABS’s massive torque is
transmitted to the tarmac as efficiently as possible, a highly
rigid, dual-sided, 4-link swingarm design gives excellent rider
feedback for a superb sport riding experience.

has two selectable modes to provide superb sport control.
KIPASS IGNITION SECURITY SYSTEM
