Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Compression and rebound damping adjustments at both ends let riders tune the suspension, with the rear also offering preload adjustment.
Long suspension travel
The 315 mm of front and rear wheel travel helps the bike absorb rough terrain.
Electric start
The electric starter avoids the need to kick-start the engine.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 945 mm, the seat height can make getting on and putting a foot down more difficult for shorter riders.
Small fuel tank
The 6.20 liter tank leaves limited fuel onboard for stretches away from refueling.
