The Gladius comes with spring-preload adjustable front and rear suspension which is great for absorbing the potholes and urban surprises that tend to appear whilst riding.

The coloured steel trellis frame gets it's inspiration from European counterparts and it gives the Gladius an air of fun rather than 'workhorse'. A stainless steel muffler cover, five-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels, a 14.5-litre fuel tank and a distinctive multi-reflector headlight allow for the European feel to be  continued.
