The 41mm front fork and single shock rear suspension work in tandem to absorb bumps and deliver a smooth ride, even on rough terrain. With a generous fuel capacity of 16.65 liters, you can embark on longer rides with confidence, while the electric starter ensures hassle-free ignition. Available in a sleek black finish, the Sabre exudes a timeless elegance that complements its performance. **
