Safety is prioritized with reliable drum brakes, featuring a 130 mm front brake and a 110 mm rear brake, providing adequate stopping power for city riding. With a fuel capacity of 13 liters, riders can expect impressive range and fewer stops at the pump, making it a practical choice for those who navigate busy streets daily. The electric starter adds convenience, allowing for a hassle-free start-up, especially in urban traffic. **
