The electric starter adds convenience, while the double-disc front brakes and a single-disc rear provide responsive stopping power, enhancing safety without compromising on the riding experience. The USD front fork and twin-shock rear suspension work in harmony to deliver a smooth ride, absorbing bumps effortlessly and allowing riders to enjoy the journey.
