    I was just thinking, doesn't that spoke wheel will cause an issue to rear Disc Brake as most of weight would be on back side??

    Spoke wheel are prone to get misaligned frequently when banged on potholes. Won't this misalignment cause a disc functioning issue?? brake pads and Disc resistance would increase if slight misalignment takes place. And even tyres are not that broad that would support the spoke. IN Triump or Harley tyres are broader and spokes are smaller so the weight and strength of spoke respect to misalignment is less!! But here Tyre is not that broader and spokes are also bigger in length!!

    RE bikes are tend to have rims and spoke aligned in every 2-3 months.
    no, the disc is attached to wheel hub, so even if there is any problem with spokes or alignment as you say, still since disk is attached to the wheel hub, it will rotate perfectly.

      I guess it was a Typo error. RE themselves claim 500km range on the new 20ltr tank that equals roughly 25 KMPL. Overdrive review claims they got ~430km from that tank on very spirited highway riding. Mileage is on the lower side and I guess it has decreased for this bike compared to for other models.

      • One more thing to share... Matte black color is available in 500 only and the other two i.e. Twilight black and winter black are in 350 only....

                    Raven bro, there are 3 RE models shown in that movie. 1) TB 500, 2) Cl 500 battle green, 3) CL 500. Haven't heard/seen any DS 500 though... Are you sure about this?
                    Seems like RE is planning to showcase it's all models in this movie....

                        I doubt how the matte finish will go with the Classic looks
