Built on a robust frame combining CrMo steel and aluminum, it is designed for durability while remaining lightweight at just 129 kg (284.4 pounds). The Showa front suspension and Pensky rear suspension work harmoniously to ensure that the bike handles bumps and uneven terrain with ease. The single disc brakes, with a 320 mm diameter at the front and 260 mm at the rear, provide dependable stopping power. Additionally, the adjustable seat height, starting at 720 mm (28.3 inches), caters to a wide range of riders, making it accessible for those who might be concerned about reach. **
