The front suspension offers 170 mm (6.7 inches) of travel, soaking up bumps and providing a plush ride, while the rear suspension with 90 mm (3.5 inches) of travel ensures stability and comfort for both rider and passenger. Braking is managed by a single disc up front with a diameter of 265 mm (10.4 inches), paired with an expanding brake at the rear, giving riders confidence in stopping power. The 14.50-litre (3.83-gallon) fuel tank provides ample range for longer journeys, making it a practical choice for those who enjoy weekend getaways on two wheels. **
