- THE DRIVE: THE WILL TO DISCOVER: It wants to get out into the world: the powerful, newly developed parallel twin engine with 90 hp gives you and your thirst for discovery the right drive. The engine concept impresses with powerful sound, stronger performance with 90 hp at 8,000 rpm and smooth performance – with a moderate consumption of 57 mpg (according to WMTC). This Enduro has enough power for any off-road challenge – wherever you want to take it.
- 21-INCH-FRONT-WHEEL AND CROSS-SPOKED RIMS: The 21-inch-front-wheel and the cross-spoked rims are made for off-roading.
- TOURING WINDSCREEN INCLUDING ADJUSTER: The adjustable touring windscreen allows for quick adaptation to different conditions. Less wind resistance and more weather protection mean more relaxed riding and increased comfort - especially on long tours.
- COMFORT SEAT AS A STANDARD FEATURE: The standard comfortable rider's seat ensures a fatigue-free ride. Ideal for those long hours in the saddle and another example of extremely well-thought-out ergonomics.
- INCREASED RANGE THANKS TO 6.1 GALLON TANK: Increased range for more adventure: thanks to the larger tank, you're well prepared for adventures that take you on long rides to the most remote places in the world.

- EXTENSIVE STORAGE SPACE: With the sturdy storage, your equipment is always well protected, even on rough terrain. The standard stainless steel luggage rack is the robust holder for the optional aluminum cases.
