The most popular adventure-style motorcycle on the Brazilian market is undergoing structural and aesthetic updates for the second half of 2026. Assembly takes place in the Polo Industrial of Manaus, located in the state of Amazonas. The official schedule confirms the launch of the model for the first few days of August. Dealers across the country receive the initial batches in the following fortnight. The project preserves the mechanical base widely known by motorcyclists. The manufacturer is betting on specific technical refinements to sustain its isolated leadership in the category.

The commercial strategy focuses on maintaining the high sales volume recorded in the last twelve months. The vehicle meets travel needs in large urban centers. The model also supports frequent traffic on dirt roads in the interior of the country. Versatility for daily use remains the main argument in stores. The set balances fuel economy and structural strength for severe use.

Tabela of values ​​and safety options for the pilot

The São Paulo state market serves as a reference for the new suggested price table. The entry-level configuration hits storefronts for R$21,320. Este initial catalog offers the factory combined braking system. The mechanism distributes stopping force between the front and rear axles simultaneously. The technology helps inexperienced drivers during emergency braking. The value disclosed by the automaker does not include shipping costs. Transport calculation takes place at the store’s negotiation table.

Consumidores who are looking for more technology will find a variant focused on active security. The model equipped with anti-lock brakes costs R$22,260. The electronic system only acts on the motorcycle’s directional wheel. The feature prevents the front tire from slipping on wet asphalt. The division of versions allows different budget profiles to be met.

The 2026 economic scenario requires planning from buyers of brand new vehicles. The current minimum wage of R$1,621 guides many financing negotiations at dealerships. Credit approval for motorcycles in this price range usually requires payments proportional to the total value of the asset. Interest rates vary depending on the store’s partner financial institution. The liquidity of the model makes it easier to accept used motorcycles as part of the payment.

Ajustes mechanics and fuel efficiency

The engine with a 162.7 cubic centimeter cylinder continues to equip the motorcycle. The set uses an air cooling system and valve control positioned in the cylinder head. Flexible technology guarantees freedom when refueling. The motorcyclist can use ethanol or gasoline in any proportion in the tank. The electronic injection control unit received profound modifications on the assembly line. Engineers adjusted emissions rates to comply with new environmental rules. The burning of the air-fuel mixture has become more efficient.

The mechanical performance presents figures suitable for daily traffic. The engine develops 14.3 horsepower at 8,000 revolutions per minute using a sugarcane derivative. The exclusive use of gasoline reduces peak power to 14.2 horsepower. Maximum torque reaches 1.45 kilogram-force meters at 5,500 revolutions. Power at low revs ensures quick exits from traffic lights. The driver gains agility when changing lanes on congested avenues.

The five-speed transmission has undergone an engineering overhaul. The fifth speed has been lengthened by 3.6% compared to the previous generation. The mechanical change reduces engine speed when traveling at constant speeds. The driver notices a reduction in operating noise on highways. Fuel consumption drops on longer road journeys.

The preventive maintenance routine became cheaper for the owner. The fuel filter now works separately from the injection pump module. The design change reduces labor costs in periodic reviews. The durability of the internal components extends the life of the motorcycle. The vehicle consolidates its position as a work tool for delivery drivers and fleet operators.

Pacote technological and urban design renewal

The styling department maintained the full-bodied lines inspired by larger-displacement models. The visual update incorporates modern elements demanded by today’s consumer. The factory equipment package brings electronic facilities to everyday life. Highlights of the new project include:

  • New Tonalidade called Universe Blue, available only in the entry-level version with combined brakes.
  • Conjunto fully LED lighting, encompassing the main headlight and taillight.
  • Painel digital instrument with dark background to facilitate viewing of information in direct sunlight.
  • Tomada in USB-C standard installed in the fairing for charging mobile devices.

Ergonomics received attention from designers during development. The seat built on two levels accommodates two people comfortably on long journeys. The height of the seat is 836 millimeters from the ground. The measurement allows most riders to place their feet firmly on the ground. The tank stores 12 liters of fuel. Peças plastics on the sides protect the tank’s paintwork in case of falls at low speed.

Ciclística improved and positioning in the national market

The front suspension system uses 33 millimeter diameter tubes. The rear shock absorber received a new factory calibration. The fine adjustment provides more stability on bumpy roads. The spoked wheels shod with mixed-use tires absorb impacts from uneven asphalt. The reinforced chassis supports the torsion generated by load transport. The dry weight of 125 kilograms makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

Competition in the low-displacement trail motorcycle segment remains intense for the Brasil. Fabricantes rivals sell products priced between R$18,500 and R$19,000. Estes competing models deliver engines with power of around 12.9 horsepower. Outras Asian brands offer 20 horsepower engines for prices close to R$21,500.

The motorcycle defends historical leadership supported by the reliability of the mechanical assembly. High demand in the used market guarantees minimal depreciation over the years. The wide network of dealerships facilitates access to original spare parts in all regions of the country. The model continues to be preferred by buyers looking for a robust vehicle for daily transport and weekend leisure.
