Powerful engine and performance
The bike is powered by a 443 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, long-stroke engine that produces 25.4 bhp of power at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. It is mated to a new 6-speed gearbox, which makes driving in traffic and cruising on highways much easier. In addition, the vibrations and noise of the engine are reduced, making long journeys more comfortable.
Chassis and off-roading capabilities
The bike uses a half-duplex split-cradle frame with 41 mm telescopic forks (200 mm travel) at the front and a linkage-type monoshock (180 mm travel) rear suspension. 220 mm ground clearance with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels makes this bike perform well on rough roads and dirt tracks.
