On The Pegs P 36 On The Horizon Cylinder head with specially-designed volume and squish (300 cc only): consider- able performance increase; the red color also offers a ‘racing’ look. Optimized control unit (ECU) mappings to enhance low-rev power delivery and maintain excellent performance at mid-high revs. Black anodized engine oil plugs. 4-Stroke The 300 cc engine on the new 2019 Evo Factory 4 Stroke is equipped with a light- er, even higher-performing titanium silencer. Moreover, a new electronic control unit boosts power to improve the stability of the ignition delivery creating a more clean-burning combustion throughout the rev range. CHASSIS To make the new Evo Factory a true competition-ready bike capable of compet- ing at the highest level across all categories, much of the design work has focused on the suspension. On The Pegs Vol. 4 Issue 2 - February 2019 P 37 More specifically, the differences with respect to the standard versions are as follows: Re-calibrated fork valving: continued development to provide the perfect setting for both Expert and Clubman riders. Gold anodized, billet machined triple clamp: reduces weight, increases stiff- ness and lets the rider shift the handle- bar risers forwards or backwards to adjust bike set-up to perfection. Rear suspension with longer wheel- base and adjustment of both compres- sion and rebound: settings have been refined even further thanks to more progressive valving and a more stable, assertive set-up that provides outstanding benefits, especially in pre-obstacle compression and push-off. Linkage progression: more sensitive and progressive, ensuring better traction and push-off when faced with high obstacles. Lanyard-type kill switch: ensures the bike can be used in complete safety. Black anodized bar end plugs: these protect the grips and ensure smooth, long- lasting throttle performance. New black anodized chain adjusters: designed to allow more precise adjust- ment of chain tension and satisfy even the most demanding riders. Billet machined foot pegs with non-slip steel pins: ensure maximum boot grip even under the most extreme conditions as well as significant weight reduction. Racing brake discs: more powerful braking, weight savings and a more aggres- sive look. BrakTec brake and clutch master cylinders: for improved braking feel and in- creased power. Black anodized brake and clutch master cylinder covers. Rear brake caliper with brake pad anti-vibration system. Gold rims: in pure racing style. Michelin X-light tires: to maximize performance whatever the riding conditions. New eye-catching design: introduces gold to match the classic Factory red white and blue. n
