The suspension setup features a 43 mm upside-down front fork and an adjustable rear shock, providing excellent handling and comfort over varied terrains. Safety is paramount, with powerful double disc brakes up front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring responsive stopping power. The bike also boasts an electric starter and a fuel capacity of 16 liters (4.23 gallons), making it a practical choice for longer rides without frequent refueling stops. **
