The upside-down telescopic hydraulic front suspension is fully adjustable, offering riders the ability to customize their ride to the terrain at hand. The progressive ‘soft damp’ rear suspension adds an extra layer of comfort, absorbing bumps and shocks for a smoother experience. With both front and rear disc brakes providing reliable stopping power, riders can navigate challenging off-road conditions with confidence. Additional features like the electric starter ensure that you can get back on the trail quickly and easily.
