The SX 50 is not just about performance; it’s also equipped with several features that enhance the riding experience.

Stopping power is provided by a single stainless steel disc at both the front and rear, featuring a floating caliper for precise braking. With a fuel capacity of 7 liters, riders can enjoy extended rides without frequent stops for refueling. The bike’s sleek lines and color options in black and white complete its modern aesthetic, appealing to both style-conscious riders and practical users alike.
