Equipped with features designed for comfort and safety, the Eggy 125 showcases a telescopic fork front suspension and a unit swing rear suspension, providing a smooth ride over various road conditions. The stopping power comes from a hydraulic single disc brake at the front and an expanding drum brake at the rear, ensuring reliable performance when it matters most.
