Tool-Free Handle Adjustment

Quick adjustment without tools. The bike handle can be repositioned quickly using the central clamping mechanism. The handle can also be rotated through 90° for transport and storage.

STIHL 2-MIX Engine

Powerful and fuel efficient. The STIHL 2-MIX engine combines strong performance with lower fuel consumption and emissions.

STIHL Anti-Vibration System

More comfortable operation during long working periods. Special buffer and spring elements minimise vibration transfer to the handles.
