Stopping power comes from a single disc brake setup, with a 320 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, ensuring you can confidently manage your speed. With a lightweight design of just 135 kg (297.6 pounds) and a low seat height of 760 mm (29.9 inches), the Spitfire is accessible for riders of varying heights, making it a versatile choice for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
