With its sleek lines, muscular stance, and sophisticated color options of black, red, and white, the ST7 not only commands attention on the road but also embodies the spirit of freedom and adventure that defines cruiser culture. At the heart of the ST7 lies a powerful 678.20cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 79 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and 66.99 Nm of torque at 7,250 RPM. This engine, with its 11.5:1 compression ratio, offers exhilarating acceleration and smooth power delivery. Paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, the ST7 ensures a responsive and engaging riding experience.

The combination of its solid performance and comfortable ergonomics makes it an ideal companion for both city commuting and weekend getaways. Hyosung has equipped the ST7 with a range of features that enhance its riding experience. The conventional telescopic front fork and swing arm rear suspension with a preload adjustable hydraulic double shock absorber ensure a smooth ride, while the advanced braking system—featuring a semi-floating single disc with a four-piston caliper up front—provides confident stopping power. With a seat height of just 675 mm (adjustable to the lowest setting), the ST7 caters to riders of varying heights, adding to its appeal as a versatile cruiser. Additionally, the electric starter and a 2-year limited warranty further showcase Hyosung's commitment to reliability and convenience. **
