Bevel box no longer by Quaife and with redesigned internal gears
Same toothed belt and sprocket to rear wheel.
Rear tyre 195/65/15
Drum rear brake - apparently they tested both disk and drum which are about the same weight and cost. The test driver feedback was they preferred drums as the disk was "a bit bitey".


Why does it need a prop shaft and a toothed belt ? The toothed belt is a real disappointment given the increase in power and (I assume) weight over the previous model. Drum brakes are cheaper than discs.
