Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Preload and damping adjustments at both ends let riders tailor the suspension setup, with additional ride-height adjustment at the rear.
Strong torque output
The engine's 155 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm gives it substantial pulling force without relying only on high engine speeds.
Radial front brakes
Twin 310 mm front discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers provide substantial braking hardware.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speeds
At 265 kg, the bike takes more effort to maneuver when parking or moving it by hand.
Chain final drive
The chain drive needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
