Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
At 655 mm, the seat height can make it easier to put a foot down when stopping.
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive eliminates the routine chain cleaning and adjustment required by a chain drive.
Adjustable rear preload
Five-position spring preload lets the rear suspension be tuned to suit the load.
Things to consider
Considerable weight
At 246 kg, the bike takes more effort to push around or maneuver at walking speed.
Rear drum brake
The rear brake is a drum, rather than a disc.
