It is highly recommended that you avoid riding your vehicle in a way that will stress the clutch components over
long periods of time and that will cause them to overheat, e.g. riding uphill on a steep incline with a full load, or
attempting a hill start with a passenger on a road with a 25% slope or higher: In case of clutch overtheating, allow
the clutch to cool down for a few minutes with the engine running at idle.
This vehicle has been fitted with a hi-tech hydro-pneumatic suspension system known as HTS

This innovative hydraulic suspension system automatically allows both wheels to constantly adjust to the road surface
without requiring riders to modify their riding position thus ensuring a stable and comfortable ride even in situations that
may set a normal vehicle off balance (e.g. road humps and dips, rails, unexpected obstacles, etc.). This innovative tilting
mechanism allows the vehicle to deliver the highest levels of performance, comfort, and enjoyment in complete safety.
The Hydraulic Tilting System (HTS

HTS HTS HTS) is fitted to the front wheels allowing them to tilt or bank simultaneously and trail
independently. Compared to the various mechanical systems currently on the market, the HTS distinguishes itself for its
ease of use and for the its simple design, which result in a lower weight and minimal maintenance.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION VEHICLE DESCRIPTION VEHICLE DESCRIPTION VEHICLE DESCRIPTION VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Tilting System (HTS) (HTS)
(HTS) (HTS)
(HTS) consists of two “hydraulic” cylinders and a
single “spring” cylinder. The hydraulic cylinders connect the vehicle’s frame to
the two front wheel swinging-arms, while the centrally-mounted spring cylinder
provides the traditional dampening effect for the front suspension.
The oil flow through all cylinders is regulated by a valve according to the
movements deriving from the roughness of the road surface and the lean.

In addition, the compressed gas stored in the lower section of the
hydraulic cylinders helps increasing the front wheels’ response to
the rider’s commands, thus improving manoeuvrability from standstill,
and providing higher riding stability and safety. All of this brings
unparalleled braking and handling performance.
