Our Dakar XCR series was already known for crisp handling with supple suspension action that’s stable and ultra-responsive under power. But we went back to the CAD screen and proto room, tweaking it hard to squeeze just a little bit more from what’s already one of the best designs available.

When it comes to covering open ground, nothing gobbles up more trail with more efficiency faster. Use the mp3 multi-link rear suspension’s 100 mm of travel to spare your body on that fast trail ride. Or give it your all and leverage that solid pedal platform to get to the finish line first.
