The telescopic front fork and swingarm rear suspension provide a comfortable ride, absorbing bumps and ensuring excellent handling. The motorcycle's braking system includes a hydraulic single disc at the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear, offering balanced stopping power. Additionally, the electric starter ensures a hassle-free ignition experience, and a variety of color options—including Graphite Black, Candy Graceful Red, and Cortine White—allow riders to express their personal style. **
