Yokomo YZ-4SF2 rear hub carrier & front stiffener

Yokomo have presented two new option parts for the YZ-4SF2, including an aluminium rear hub carrier and front stiffener. The rear hub carrier is compatible with the sturdy Φ3mm outer suspension arm pin. Four types of bushes for passing suspension pin are attached and the height can be adjusted in 7 steps by switching the height. Also, it also has the effect of increasing rear traction due to the increase in strength and weight compared to standard resin. The stiffener increases the strength around the steering post and reduces front friction by changing the rigidity. This will be more effective on dirt tracks and has the effect of increasing the stability of steering.
