A torque-assist clutch for light and easy operation is also fitted as standard , which represents a particular advantage when riding in heavy traffic or when enjoying light off-road riding , making the bike easier to rider for longer . The clocks feature an analogue speedometer and a digital menu system , which is easily accessed via intuitive handlebar mounted buttons . The under-seat USB charger , key-fob-incorporated immobiliser and the compact , power-efficient , and elegant LED rear light complete the high specification technology package .
