The drive was chosen as it was suitable for cruisers, had low noise levels, and was easy to clean and maintain. The bikes support three riding modes. The urban mode is for navigating in traffic dense areas, with reduced power and better handling capabilities. The touring mode is meant for long distance riding, as well as providing maximum comfort. Full power is provided to the engine in Touring mode, and the handling is easy. The sports Mode supplies the full power, and precise handling, for maximum fun.
