This four-stroke powerhouse is paired with a 6-speed gearbox that allows riders to effortlessly control their speed and power delivery, making every twist of the throttle a thrilling experience.

The dual front brakes, equipped with 6-piston calipers, offer outstanding stopping power, complemented by a single rear disc brake for balanced control. A striking array of carbon fiber components—such as the headlight, fenders, and fuel tank—add a touch of modern sophistication while reducing weight, further enhancing performance.
