The braking system, equipped with a 270 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, delivers strong and reliable stopping power, essential for tackling challenging environments. Additionally, the bike’s electric starter and generous ground clearance of 396 mm make it a practical choice for off-road adventures.
