And not only thanks to the new LED headlights (which we also find in the rear of the cabin), because they are exactly the same lines more conspicuous and less rounded to characterize its stylistic evolution. The new sporty character is also underlined by the black color scheme with red circles and from a completely new driving position. Although saddle 20 mm thicker compared to the outgoing model – remaining the lowest in the category at 755mm from the ground – the rider is less sunk and his posture suggests more front load.

Thanks to back by adjusting the lower back, you can find the position that best suits your needs. And the less experienced will be able to rely not only on the saddle being very low off the ground, but also on the presence of well-tapering footpegs that will allow you to easily place your foot on the ground.
The new shape of the scooter has only slightly reduced the carrying capacity. IN compartment under the saddle it is smaller, but still accommodates a helmet covering the face and demi-jet thanks to its 42-liter capacity. And for other smaller items, you can always count on the presence of convenient storage compartments located in the back panel (one of which contains a convenient 12V socket to recharge your smartphone). Nice landslide equipped with lighter ABS of the latest generation based on dual front and rear discs. There is also a parking brake for parking "on a slope". Installation it is quite soft as it should be, but still offers good support when needed. There is no traction control, but honestly you won't miss it.
