Design: A Taste of Adventure, Maxi-Scooter Style

Its bodywork is muscular and bold – the large LED headlight setup at the front, combined with split-LED DRLs, illuminates the path at night and adds style. The high windscreen provides wind protection, perfect for long rides. Aggressive curves on the side panels and block-pattern tires give it an off-road feel, while MRF Curve tires on 14-inch alloy wheels ensure grip.
The scooter’s dimensions are also impressive: 1983 mm in length, 772 mm in width, 1214 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 1348 mm.
