Pick the adjective of choice for the Moto: Burly. Brawny. Beautiful. Bump-aliscious. For all-mountain riders on steeper terrain, the Moto shines. Revolutionary floating shock technology gobbles up baby-head sized rocks, and delivers premium suspension performance. Ultra-stiff bottom bracket shell resists torsional stress and the sloppy flex that takes away from the riding experience.

The Yanks put the brake levers arse-about (front brake on the left??? do US motorbikes do this too???), when I swapped them over I had to get a longer front brake line. But nuffin else to sook about...

A little rear flex, but not enough for to be an issue.
