Front disc brakes, measuring 217 mm, offer reliable stopping power, while the 130 mm drum brake at the rear ensures safety without compromising style. Additional conveniences like electric and kick starters provide flexibility in starting your ride, making it a practical choice for everyday use. The 13.80-liter fuel tank allows for extended rides without frequent stops, further enhancing its appeal for long-distance commuters. **
