good bottoming resistance . Honestly , it really is very good suspension which will suit the majority of riders with just some adjusting of the clickers to dial things in . Ground clearance is a healthy 320mm , so there ’ s still some decent wriggle room when it ’ s fully bottomed out , and you ’ re unlikely to get hung up in deep ruts because the frame rails are narrow too . In fact , the whole bike is slim with smooth ergo ’ s . Moving around is easy and I never
got hung up on anything . The seat , footpeg and handlebar relationship will happily suit the masses and the bars themselves are a comfortable bend . The only down side is that the seat is pretty thinly padded at the rear for soft arse riders ... but then racers never sit , do they ?
AGILITY AS STANDARD Wow , the 390 turns ! And , it still has great stability - a rare combination . The 390 gets in to turns easily , is agile and stays on line or in the rut
