Apart from this, touring features like two-mode ABS, full-LED lighting setup, 5-inch TFT LCD screen, adjustable windscreen, and optional panniers are also available.

The steel frame of the bike keeps it stable on straight roads. At the same time, a wheelbase of 1,570 mm, ground clearance of 220 mm, and seat height of 855 mm make it suitable for off-road riding as well.
