The Circuit of the Americas was another challenge for the rear elevation of the Suzuki GSX-RR. This was only introduced in the second half of this season and is still in a very early stage of development.
Joan Mir said after the American GP that he was happy with how it worked, but admitted that there was still some progress to be made: “It works well. We still have to work a bit on that. We’re still a little off, but we’re getting better. “
Remember that Suzuki was the last of the six current manufacturers to introduce this device that automatically adjusts the height of the rear of the bike – which is particularly useful during the acceleration phase and reduces the tendency of the front wheel to take off.
