Pros
Trendy matte finish gives the scooter a more modern and premium aesthetic
Matte texture hides small dust particles better than glossy finishes
Sturdy steel construction remains the best in its class
Cons
Matte paint is difficult to repair; scratches usually require a full panel repaint
Cannot use standard wax or polishes, requiring specific matte-care products
Pillion comfort is limited by the narrow rear seat design
