The adventurer is equipped with the same dependable three-cylinder powerhouse as the base model and sports the same technical features, such the wire-spoked wheels and rigid frame. What differentiates this model from its counterpart is the refreshed, custom-like aesthetics. The main frame has been painted bright red, as well as the cockpit infills and the paint scheme has been replaced with a Volcanic Black one, which gives off redish hues in the sunlight.
