Overview
Introducing the 2011 Highland 507cc Cross Country motorcycle, a machine that embodies the spirit of adventure and the thrill of off-road exploration. In the competitive landscape of enduro-offroad motorcycles, the Highland stands out with its unique blend of power, agility, and cutting-edge technology. Designed for riders who crave the excitement of tackling rugged terrains, the Cross Country model is engineered to deliver both performance and versatility, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts eager to conquer the great outdoors. At the heart of the Highland 507cc Cross Country lies a robust 507cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a punchy performance while maintaining impressive efficiency. The engine is equipped with a fully adjustable EFI fuel system, ensuring optimal power delivery and responsiveness across different riding conditions. With a six-speed gearbox, riders can easily shift through gears, allowing for smooth acceleration whether you're navigating steep inclines or cruising on open trails.

The suspension system, comprising a telescopic front fork and PDS rear suspension, provides an impressive 300 mm of front travel, allowing the bike to soak up bumps and obstacles with ease. The powerful braking system, featuring a six-piston front disc and a single-piston rear disc, offers reliable stopping power, critical for those tricky downhill sections. With an accessible seat height of 1,011 mm and generous ground clearance of 315 mm, the Cross Country is designed to accommodate a wide range of riders while ensuring stability on uneven surfaces. **
