Does anyone know or guess why is the front fork of the ABS model (XT660ZA - ABS 2016), so much different from the non-ABS model?

Is it just because YAMAHA needed to keep the cost low, and selected a cheaper OEM front fork for the ABS model, to compensate for the extra cost of the ABS unit?

Or maybe..

Is it because the ABS model cannot handle as much travel on the front fork (because of geometry, fork inclination etc)?

Is it basically a safety issue or a cost issue?

Any thoughts?
