Coupled with a robust rear WP shock absorber providing 185 mm (7.3 inches) of travel, this bike is built to absorb the harshest of terrains effortlessly. The braking system features single discs at both the front (198 mm) and rear (160 mm), ensuring reliable stopping power when it’s needed most. And with a seat height of just 750 mm (29.5 inches) and adjustable ground clearance of 280 mm (11.0 inches), young riders can find the perfect fit for their riding style. **
