The suspension system is another highlight, featuring a 48mm Kayaba AOS front fork and a Sachs multi-adjustable shock at the rear, offering exceptional handling and comfort over rough terrain. Coupled with wave discs for both front (260 mm) and rear (240 mm) brakes, riders can expect powerful stopping performance and confidence-inspiring control.
