The newness

In addition to new graphics and color alternatives, in the front area we particularly notice the adoption of a Showa SFF-BP 41mm upside down fork, combined with new split-spoke aluminum rims.
The naked, like the other examples mentioned, is equipped with a lighter swingarm with greater torsional rigidity, as well as increased lateral flexibility, for easier handling and grip.
Also highlighted is the adoption of double 296 mm front discs and Nissin radial mount calipers.

The engine is a 500 cc twin-cylinder with updates to the PGM-FI electronic injection settings, accentuating torque delivery to offer liveliness of movement. The maximum power remains at 35 kW.
Given its small size and the aforementioned level of power, it represents a model aimed at a varied clientele ranging from new motorcyclists coming from experience on 125 models to general two-wheel lovers.
