MODES

By default it’s in Tour – silky suspension, gentle throttle response, early gear changes (DCT version). It’s relaxed, but too lugubrious for UK roads. Rain and Econ modes are much the same. But change to Sport and you get a different bike – abrupt throttle response, firm suspension and it holds gears to the 6000rpm redline. It’s too frantic to maintain though – we want a mode between Sport and Tour.
