Braking performance is equally impressive, with a 250 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, ensuring precise stopping power when you need it most. With a lightweight build of just 95.9 kg (211.4 pounds) and generous ground clearance of 324 mm (12.8 inches), the Derapage is agile and responsive, making it a joy to ride on and off the pavement. **
