Confidence comes standard
DOHC twin-cylinder engine
The 471cc parallel-twin engine features a dual overhead cam design that’s versatile, approachable, and famously reliable. It has robust low-end torque and high-rpm horsepower.
Showa® SFF-BP fork
A top-notch 41mm inverted Showa® Separate Function Fork—Big Piston (SFF-BP) front end provides the rigidity needed for precise steering and feedback.
Slipper clutch
The slipper clutch improves power delivery, reduces clutch-lever pull effort by 45 percent, and helps prevent rear-wheel hop during hard deceleration.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Our Anti-Lock Braking System is standard, providing confident stopping power and added assurance in challenging conditions, such as wet roads or loose gravel.
Where value meets vibes
Digital instruments
An easy-to-read digital LCD gauge cluster includes a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, multiple trip meters, and more.
Steel-tube frame
The 35mm steel-tube mainframe seamlessly links to the engine through four mounts, providing a rock-solid foundation that ensures a smooth ride and quick handling.
Naked sportbike styling
Embracing the 'less is more' philosophy, the sleek, angular design seamlessly merges modern aesthetics with exceptional value to create an all-around package that packs a lot for a little.
