According to Honda, this suspension team is capable of offering the same response as a competition fork, thanks above all to the settings managed through the Öhlins Object Based Tuning (OBTi) interface with countless adjustments available to the pilot, who will also be able to access a digital spring preload adjustment guide through the instrument panel as a new feature .
The Fireblade SP 2024 also raises the level of its braking by having the new Brembo Stylema R tongs four-piston system and Brembo brake master cylinder/lever, while the cornering ABS now includes a RACE mode that allows the rear ABS to be disconnected.
