The bike’s front and rear brakes, each with a single disc and optional ABS, provide strong stopping power, ensuring safety without compromising style. The telescopic front fork and dual-shock rear suspension work in harmony to deliver a comfortable ride, absorbing the bumps of the road while maintaining stability. With a seat height of 695 mm (27.4 inches) and a ground clearance of 145 mm (5.7 inches), this cruiser is designed for accessibility and comfort, allowing riders of varying heights to enjoy its performance. Additionally, the electric starter ensures that getting on the road is as effortless as the ride itself. **
