Key Features & Highlights
ERGO-FIT adjustability empowers riders to customize the seat, footpegs, and handlebar reach to match their specific height and riding style, complementing the low 705 mm seat height.
A sportbike-derived high-tensile steel perimeter frame departs from traditional layouts, offering sharper handling and superior cornering confidence while carrying its 235 kg kerb weight.
An assist and slipper clutch reduces lever effort, providing a lighter pull in traffic and preventing rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
A compact 2-into-1 under-engine exhaust layout keeps the center of gravity incredibly low, significantly boosting low-speed maneuverability.
The semi-digital instrument console pairs a classic analogue tachometer with a multi-function LCD screen for clear, concise readouts on the go.
Contemporary styling is defined by an inverted triangle headlamp, teardrop tank, and an aggressive blacked-out finish that fully replaces traditional chrome.
