The single downtube frame, utilizing the engine as a stressed member, adds strength without unnecessary weight, tipping the scales at 192 kg (423.3 pounds). The suspension system, comprising telescopic forks at the front with hydraulic damping and a swingarm setup at the rear, cushions the ride over rough patches, offering a comfortable experience for both rider and passenger. Safety isn’t overlooked either, with a dual-disc brake setup featuring a 280 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc for responsive stopping power.
