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.
