The cruiser is said to ride on 18-inch front and 16-inch rear spoke wheels wrapped in fat rubber. It employs capable hardware in the form of upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono shock unit. Anchorage comes from disc brakes at both ends supplemented by ABS. Tipping the scales at around 258kg kerb weight, the bike promises easy maneuverability.
