Internally there are significant changes, with higher quality two-piece bushings with vertical slots allowing for better oil penetration. The bushings are also paired to the stanchions and lower legs to ensure tighter tolerances and smother running.
Outside a new lower casting has been made with a new lattice-reinforced brake arch to improve tracking and a traditional 20mm bolt through axle is used on the 4X and DJ1 models
