Interesting test of the Super from the guys of motoblog.

Good point in pt.2 is what he explains about the ABS:

1-put the bike on the central stand
2-engine on
3-put first gear
4-accelerate al little bit
--> the abs warning light will blink --> the bike is detecting an excessive difference in speed between front and rear wheel spin and interprets it as possible malfunction in the abs sensor. To avoid breakdowns it simply turns off the ABS for the back wheel, so you now have the bike with usefull front ABS and usefull rear blockable wheel.

What Idon't know is how he activates the ABS again. Maybe just turn the bike off then on and everything works again? (but you also have to repeat the process if you doesn't want the ABS)

It is informational and a review.

video1:

He likes the stabbility and precision and specially how easy it is to change direction and the front stabbility.
The guy is really impressed with the front of the bike. For him the best on the big-enduro class. Both rear and front suspension very good, + the fork really great. "The fork is allways precise, comfortable, stable and very, very reactive when riding hard". "It never looses his line, is precise and coherent".
The bike allows very good lean angles and feels very good doing them with nice suspension and a solid frame.

The brakes are also impressive, with the abs processing many data. For example, ABS does not work allways the same, it reads the speed of the bike (not only the wheels) and acts accordingly moddulating the braking (that's how I undestand it: if you are at 40kmh or 120kmh)
He likes braking both on and off road, but specially in wet condition.

Engine is very sweet. It doesn't care if you're on 3rd, 4th or 5th gear.

Explanation of the TCS modes.
TCS is not too much intrussive. It allows enough play to control the bike.

The position standing is perfect. Ideal to ride fast off road. Can be guided with the knees and it follows trajectories nice.

As promised earlier.

Metal Mule have made some Pannier racks and a rear rack for the S10.

These are the original prototypes and are not powder coated or finished off properly. They are however, very well made.
