The robust double-cradle steel frame enhances stability while the efficient braking system, featuring double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, provides confident stopping power. With an electric starter and an adjustable seat height of 917 mm, riders can customize their experience for maximum comfort and control. **
