The Magnum 32mm hydraulic telescopic front fork and mechanical shock absorber at the rear provide a robust suspension setup that absorbs bumps and dips with ease, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain. With expanding drum brakes at both the front and rear, riders can trust in reliable stopping power, making it easy to navigate tight turns and sudden stops. The bike’s kick starter adds a touch of classic charm while ensuring that the engine roars to life with minimal fuss.
