- Well-balanced 1440g center of gravity reduces rider fatigue on long highway stretches
- Multi-composite fiberglass/aramid matrix engineered for progressive multi-axial impact dampening
- Dual DOT & ECE 22.05 certified for verified road and highway safety

### Considerations
- High cockpit wind turbulence (~98 dB at 100 km/h); hearing protection / earplugs strongly advised
- Requires separate riding goggles; unsealed eyeport offers no protection against highway rain and cold
