The front and rear disc brakes—280 mm and 220 mm respectively—offer reliable stopping power, while the 37 mm hydraulic fork and mono-shock suspension with 130 mm travel deliver a comfortable ride over uneven surfaces. The bike also boasts an electric starter for effortless ignition and an adjustable seat height of 750 mm, catering to riders of various statures. With a fuel capacity of 11 liters, the Mulhacen is ready for both daily commutes and weekend adventures without frequent stops. **
