New Product] Dramatic Improvement of Katana Feel! KATANA Handle KIT X-CONTROL" from Yoshimura!

Yoshimura will release the "X-CONTROL" handlebar kit designed exclusively for Suzuki's current KATANA (8BL-EK1AA). It is a product that pursues the high operability required for modern riding while achieving a low form reminiscent of the famous cars of the past. It features a two-position system that can be selected according to the riding situation, and is compatible with a wide range of models from 2022 to 2025.

Specially designed to fuse the form of yesteryear with modern operability

Developed to enhance the individuality of the current KATANA, this handle kit features a sharp bracket design reminiscent of the air-cooled models of the past. The black anodized surface gives the cockpit area an intrepid impression and a high quality feel. The design is not just a dress-up part, but also emphasizes a sense of unity with the chassis, creating an ideal riding position that allows the rider to actively shift the load. The rigidity of the product is also well secured, and the direct control from braking to cornering is a major attraction of this product. It should be noted that the installation of this product may cause the vehicle dimensions to exceed the specified values, in which case an application for structural modification must be filed with the local transportation branch office.

Innovative two-position system that can be used in different driving situations

The greatest feature of the "2-position" system is the system that allows the user to choose between the "high position" and "low position" by simply replacing the included spacer and bolt. The high position, suitable for long touring trips and street driving, is set approximately 70mm forward and 50mm lower than the factory setting, providing both maneuverability and comfort at a high level. On the other hand, the low position, for riders seeking a more aggressive ride, is set about 85mm lower and more aggressive, bringing out sharp turning performance. However, the low position will interfere with the factory tank cover, so it must be used in conjunction with a special tank cowl to be released in the future. The kit also includes a handlebar and brackets, as well as stays and bolts for installing a progress meter. [/caption
