The BBW Scorpion RT front suspension, with its rack and pinion steering, ensures precise handling, allowing you to carve through corners with confidence. The single disc brakes at both the front and rear provide ample stopping power, ensuring safety without compromising the sleek design. With a substantial fuel capacity of 26.50 litres (7.00 gallons), long rides are a breeze.
