The 130 mm drum brakes at both ends deliver reliable stopping power while maintaining the bike's lightweight design, which weighs in at just 121 kg (266.8 lbs). With a fuel capacity of 13 liters (3.43 gallons), riders can enjoy longer journeys without frequent refueling. A microprocessor ignition system ensures optimal engine performance, while the electric starter adds convenience for smooth and easy starts.
