Its tubular double cradle frame ensures structural integrity and stability, while the telescopic front forks and adjustable swing arm rear suspension provide a cushioned ride over various terrains. The braking system, featuring drum brakes both front and rear, offers dependable stopping power, which is particularly important for city riders. With a fuel capacity of 10.5 liters, you can enjoy longer rides without frequent stops at the pump, and the comfortable seat height of 805 mm makes it accessible for a wide range of riders. Additionally, the option for an electric or kick starter adds versatility, ensuring that you're never left stranded. The aesthetic appeal is further enhanced with vibrant color options, including silver, black with striking red or purple stripes, and more, allowing riders to express their individuality. ###
