Pros and cons
Advantages
Suspension travel
With 204 mm of travel up front and 219 mm at the rear, the suspension has room to work over rough surfaces.
21-inch front wheel
The 90/90 -21 front tire suits uneven terrain as well as paved roads.
Dual front discs
Two 305 mm front brake discs provide braking from both sides of the front wheel.
Things to consider
Weight at low speed
At 229 kg wet, the bike can take more effort to maneuver at walking pace than a lighter motorcycle.
Chain upkeep
The chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.
Peak power at high rpm
Maximum power arrives at 8,250 rpm, so the engine needs to rev high to deliver its full output.
