In 1935 the R-12 and R-17 models with telescopic front forks were presented.
It was not the first telescopic fork in the motorcycling , but the first truly modern that incorporated shock absorbers in a serie motorcycle. This and other improvements generated a flattering reputation in these models, especially in terms of stability and direction, not to mention the respect raised for passionate power of this machine, by its power of 33 hp at 4,500 rpm with ability to exceed 140 Km / H.
Once again advanced technology.
