These features ensure a "smooth ride" perfectly tuned to the rider’s pedaling load.

The easy to straddle, rigid L-shaped frame, combined with disc brakes and DEORE 10-speed shifting, delivers a nimble, sport bike-like ride.

●Rear carrier

●Tail and brake lights

●ABUS circle lock

The new "Royal Blue" color is characterized by a European-style classic appearance, with silver and brown parts combined with a vivid, deep, high-quality blue color.

It has a soft impression that combines glamour and elegance that looks great in the cityscape with a sense of serenity and refinement.
