      Dual-channel ABS for added safety and an analog-digital instrument cluster with a speedometer, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, trip meter, and other information shown are among the bike's standard features.

      It features a large front headlamp for improved visibility, an elevated rear fender to prevent mud splashing, and a tall windscreen for wind protection.
