The advanced braking system, featuring radially mounted four-piston calipers at the front and a single-piston caliper at the rear, ensures precise stopping power that inspires confidence. Coupled with ABS technology, riders can enjoy peace of mind whether they’re navigating city streets or enjoying a weekend ride in the countryside.
