The Mi7 features double wishbone suspension for increased suspension rigidity, and reduced play.

It retains the ability to adjust suspension geometry, wheelbase, caster, camber, roll centre, Ackerman, droop, anti-dive, anti-squat, front and rear toe in/out, ride height and much more. Its ultra-low centre of gravity enables faster corner speeds than ever before.
