Pros

Twin disc brakes significantly improve stopping power and confidence.

Wider 120 mm rear tyre and longer wheelbase aid stability.

Split seats and dual-tone colours add sportier, more premium feel.

Same proven 149.5cc engine with strong low-end performance.

Cons

Lacks ABS despite having twin disc hardware.

Still uses halogen headlamp and older design language.
