The Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, maintains that the GDP has recovered its pre-pandemic size Last year, the French economy overcame the blow dealt by the pandemic by registering a growth of 7%, the highest it has experienced in the last 52 years. According to the National Institute of Statistics (INSEE, for its acronym in French), the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 0.7% in the quarter of the year. That allowed it to exceed “in net terms” the levels prior to the pandemic, according to a statement. The data is higher than that advanced by INSEE itself and that forecast by the Bank of France, which predicted an expansion of 6.7% for the year as a whole. In the final stretch of the year, the country gave the push it needed for its economy to recover its pre-pandemic size. The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, stated on the public channel France 2 that "the French economy exceeds the wealth it had in 2019 and recovers the level prior to the crisis", while saying that "it is moving at full capacity and It has a strong reaction capacity.” France registers an unprecedented employment rate since 1975, with a record drop in unemployment, and a rate of business investment higher than before the health crisis, supported the Executive's aid to mitigate the effects of the health crisis, some 60,000 millions of euros. Despite this, the French economy has not yet returned to normal, since the first part of the year was still marked by restrictions to curb covid. The production of goods and services closed on the locomotive of growth, with a rise of 7.4%, after having fallen by 8.5% in 2020, although they have not yet recovered the average level of 2019. Domestic consumption paid the Restrictions in the first part of the year and closed 2021 with a rise of 4.8%, after the fall of 7.2% the previous year. Investments exceeded their 2019 level, after registering a rise of 11.6%. International trade maintained the effects of the crisis and both exports and imports were far from their pre-crisis level. As for exports, they were 8.5% less than in 2019, while imports were 5.5% below the average for that year. Despite this, it made a positive contribution to the rise in GDP of 0.2 points, after subtracting 1.1 points from it in 2020. The INSEE had that the recovery of foreign trade intensified in the last quarter, especially imports, which rose by 3.6%, after having done so by 0.8% in the previous one, while exports improved by 3.2 % after 1.7%.

The winger, to Xavi's liking, passes the medical examination this afternoon with the Blaugrana club, who play him back on loan and save a purchase option at the end of the season After Ansu Fati was seriously injured again -left biceps femoris-, Xavi met with the Barça sports management to request three pieces before closing the winter market, as long as the accounts squared, almost all subject to the renewal of Dembélé or his departure, because the footballer has played cat and mouse and from the club they have tired of waiting, even though the operation with the Frenchman can still be closed because for Xavi he is a winger like no other. It does not seem likely, however, that the player will now accept a pay cut, so his departure is on the way and the club have asked him to submit offers but he wants to stay in the stands until the end of the season. More than anything because Barcelona has sealed an agreement with Wolverhampton to bring Adama Traoré (Hospitalet; Barcelona; 26 years old) on loan until the end of the course, in addition to saving a purchase option of about 30 million and a four-year contract to come . This Friday will pass the medical review and will be required, presumably, at the beginning of next week. A round trip for Adama as happened with Piqué, Cesc, Deulofeu and Eric García, since the attacker grew up in La Masia. This is how Xavi wanted it, he already took it home once. That was just the day after Adama made his debut as a scorer with Barcelona in 2014, in a cup duel against Huesca and with Luis Enrique on the bench. After training, Xavi found the player on the street on his way to the subway, as the young winger had just come of age. "Get in the car and I'll take you home," the then team captain told him. And so he has repeated it now, from the Premier to the Camp Nou. Adama's family, of Malian parents, settled in Barcelona in the 1980s. A few years later, the boy cried out to compete at the highest possible level in football, first at the Espanyol school and now with eight years at La Masía. Place where he tanned and trained until conquering the Youth League (2014) and came to the first team, baptized by Tata Martino and called up the following year by Luis Enrique on three other occasions to complete 93 minutes in four games for Barça. One from the League, another from the Champions League and two more from the Cup. “I didn't come out in the best way, but I don't hold a grudge and if they called me…”, the footballer came to reflect not long ago in an interview. I want you to transfer Jorge Mendes, your agent; wish fulfilled. Another success and operation of Mendes in Barcelona, a personal friend of Joan Laporta who already leads Ansu Fati and Balde in the first team, now also Adama. His figure, in addition, has been key to bring positions closer to the English club, which has a Trincão among its ranks -on loan from Barça and with the requirement to buy it for 30 million or at least pay compensation of six if it does not execute the clause - and it seems that it will be the currency at the end of the course. So the winger closes the circle in Barça, although it is not the best news for Abde or Ferran Jutglà because they will drop out of the eleven in the same way that they will also drop out of the Europa League because the club can only register three new players . A saber: Alves, Ferran Torres and Adama. It remains to be seen what happens if more reinforcements arrive. Adama left in 2015 for Aston Villa for 10 million fixed plus two in variables. Although only one course appeared because the team relegated and he was signed by Middlesbrough, where he managed to earn a name as an excellent dribbler - this year, without going any further, he is the second best in Europe in statistics by successfully completing 83 of the 102 breaks he has attempted, second only to Newcastle's Allan Saint-Maximin (91 of 145) - also a pure sprinter who is difficult to stop due to his explosiveness and physical strength. In 2018, configured by the Wolves and also came to the national team in the third call -in the first he was injured and in the second he suffered from covid- to now return home, already as a Barça player. Precisely, playing for Barcelona, he considers, also brings him closer to the national team. Especially since he has lost prominence this season with the Wolves, with only one goal and without any assistance in the 23 duels he has played. Although he has only come out of the game 11 times, usually behind Trincão. So Xavi already has one of the three pieces he wanted. He awaits, in any case, another striker -Morata, although the positions are still far away- and a left back -Grimaldo, from Benfica, which would be an operation very similar to Adama's- as competition for Jordi Alba. Although for this, the key is Dembélé because without his sale it would be impossible to balance financial fair play. Link: https://elpais.com/deportes/2022-01-28/adama-vuelve-al-barcelona.html

After the pandemic collapse, the country tries to overcome its contradictions and accelerate the transformation of its business model Portugal is the country where the online luxury fashion store listed on the New York Stock Exchange emerged and which became the first Portuguese unicorn in 2015. That year the minimum wage was 589 euros, below what each customer spent on average on a purchase at Farfetch, the author clothing and accessories platform for checking accounts without complexes created in Matosinhos by Jose Neves, today one of the largest Portuguese fortunes. Since then unicorns have ceased to be an extravagance. There are seven Portuguese companies in the digital world now valued at more than a billion dollars (12 in Spain and 321 in Europe, according to Atomico's 2021 State of European Tech report). But Portugal, which has added an unexpected political crisis to the pandemic and is trying to resolve it with early elections on January 30, is also the country where poverty threatens more than a fifth of the po[CENSORED]tion and where the economy is among Europe's laggards. The fashionable country among European retirees and foreign investors who enter through the front door of the gold visa is also the place of inaccessible housing for the Portuguese middle class (1,209 euros of average monthly salary in 2019, 1,982 euros in Spain). Between these paradoxes of capitalism moves the Iberian country, small, peripheral and with the most stable borders in Europe. Knowing what the territory has been for centuries helps to have a long experience to look outside for what cannot be found inside, whether they are seas and continents in the Modern Age or businesses and jobs in the 21st century. As for the unicorns, they lead the fascinating and uncertain life of ancient navigators. Among the latest additions to the Portuguese list are Feedzai and Remote, whose stories are told in the book Portuguese Unicorns, by Ana Pimentel, a journalist specializing in technology and start-ups. The first was founded in Coimbra and has nearly a thousand clients around the world, including Santander and Citibank. It produces technology to make digital transfers in banking and online commerce more secure based on artificial intelligence. Remote is a telecommuting human resources management platform that was created in 2019. It would be difficult to find a company with a more opportune timing to go to market, fifteen minutes after the world began the era of mass teleworking. One of those businesses that benefited from the virus, that enriched a few and impoverished many. In 2020, Portuguese millionaires increased by 19,430 to reach the figure of 136,430 (1.31% of the po[CENSORED]tion). "The country was poorer, but there was no doubt that it had richer ones," writes Pimentel. Inequality, which had been slowly falling in the last three years, grew again in 2021 to 22.4% in a country of 10.34 million inhabitants. A certain pessimism from the days of the European bailout returns, although the formulas for dealing with the pandemic are the opposite of the philosophy of the Great Recession. “The way economies have handled this crisis has been very different from what happened in the past. It was understood that it was a circumstance external to the functioning of governments and economies, with which it was possible to organize a package of aid to companies and families that allowed the country's productive capacity not to be destroyed, "says the Minister of Economy and Digital Transition, Pedro Siza Vieira, during an interview in his office in Lisbon. Support to the company The liquidation of companies was mitigated in part with these supports. "They constituted a safety net, so it is important that they be maintained while the negative impacts of the pandemic last to avoid insolvencies and the destruction of productive capacity, which would limit the rapid recovery," says Luís Miguel Ribeiro, in an email. president of the Portuguese Business Association (AEP), which encompasses 1,500 companies. The government strategy does not equally convince Susana Peralta, professor at the Nova School of Business and Economics and author of the book Portugal and the crisis of the century. "The government was timid," he writes. The economist cites that of the International Monetary Fund which, without counting the health reinforcement study items, shows that Portugal spent the equivalent of 2.4% of GDP on artillery against the economic effects of the pandemic. Only Slovakia and Greece were behind. Insufficient support influences the difficulties for families to repay their credits. "A bomb that can explode," warns Peralta, who highlights that the country is the third with the most bank moratoriums granted to companies and families with the support of the State. Public weight is often identified as a burden. “The Portuguese economy has been stagnant for too many years, it is not only the effect of the crisis, but also the effect of an economy extremely dependent on the State and, in many cases, even worse, dependent on power”, he observes by email. the professor of Political Science at the University of Aveiro, Filipe Teles. One of the reasons for the stagnation lies, in his opinion, in excessive political centralization. “Nearly two-thirds of the value of the total purchases of public administrations are concentrated in the Lisbon metropolitan area, which generates an economy in the capital that is highly dependent on the public sector, while in the rest of the country it is more industrial and export-oriented” , indicates Teles, who defends the regionalization of the country to revitalize the economy, win democracy and address structural problems such as demographic decline. The debate on territorial reform, resumed a few months ago, could culminate in a referendum in 2024. The health crisis especially punished an economy with great prominence of tourism and restaurants, the fourth non-financial activity with more business life after commerce, construction and real estate activity and agriculture. Especially thanks to the figures of Spaniards, French, British, Germans and Brazilians, the number of tourists since 2009 grew at a galloping rate and quadrupled in a decade to exceed 24 million in 2019. The sudden stop of the Great Confinement exceptional a collapse of 73.7% in 2020. That year the Portuguese GDP fell by 8.4%, two points more than the euro zone, but the forecasts of the Bank of Portugal for this year are of economic joy: a growth of 5, 8% (4.2% in the euro zone), favored by the reactivation of tourism, hotels and restaurants, and the continuing decline in unemployment, which closed 2021 with a rate of 6.1%. Spain continues to be the first client of Portuguese exports, which began to recover last year. "Portugal is recovering from the pandemic faster than Spain," says Ricardo Reis, professor of economics at the London School of Economics. “If we look at the disposable income of families in relation to what they had in 2019, it is in one of the last places in Europe (Spain is in the last). In a way, this was unavoidable in a country that relied heavily on tourism and had no budgetary space to respond aggressively to the crisis due to the enormous burden of public debt. The policies adopted were not very different from those followed in other European countries, but they were smaller”. Public debt The Portuguese public debt skyrocketed between 2009 and 2014 to reach 132.90% of GDP, its peak until the coronavirus arrived (135.2% in 2020). Public accounts have dragged their feet since the previous crisis, when part of the Portuguese financial system went bankrupt. Banks, however, have stopped worrying. "It's more solid and less likely to be at the center of a crisis," says Reis. “The restructuring of that time was good enough for the financial sector to be managing this crisis well and give confidence to the system,” says Carlos Martínez Mongay, who was head of the European Commission mission in Portugal between 2014 and 2019. An important part of the financial system is now in the hands of foreign groups such as the Spanish Santander, Caixabank and BBVA or the US fund Lone Star, which in 2017 took over Novo Banco, created to manage the good assets of Banco Espiritu Santo, in a opaque operation that has been censored in a parliamentary investigation commission. More significant is Chinese investment, which was deployed in Portugal when the country was being paid off in times of the troika. The Asians took over a good part of the assets of the Economic Adjustment Program between 2011 and 2014 and landed in strategic companies such as Energías de Portugal (EDP), Redes Energéticas Nacionais (REN), and the insurer of the Caixa Geral de Depósitos, the public bank. During President Xi Jinping's visit to Lisbon in 2018, agreements were made on infrastructure, water, 5G technology, space research and agriculture, among others. The following year Portugal became the first country in the euro zone to issue debt in yuan.

The loss of species, such as birds and mammals, is impacting the ability of plants to adapt to climate change, according to a recent publication in the scientific journal Science. “When we lose birds or mammals, we don't lose just these species. We also lose its important ecological function, which is to disperse seeds,” said Evan Fricke of Rice University. “When we lose birds or mammals, we don't lose just these species. We also lose their important ecological function, which is to disperse seeds," Evan Fricke, of Rice University, and one of the authors of the study entitled The effects of defaunation on the ability of plants to follow climate change, told AFP. which is the cover of the most recent volume of the journal Science. This study is the first to quantify the problem at a global level, and estimates that the ability of plants that need the collaboration of animals to adapt to climate change has already been reduced by 60%. (You may be interested: NASA warns that in 10 years the global warming ceiling will be reached) Tree species present in regions that have become inhospitable due to global warming can, for example, migrate to other areas where it rains more, but they do so in the form of seeds. Half of the plants depend on animals to eat their fruits and transport them further, a figure that can increase to 90% in tropical forests, while others are left to the wind alone. The Danish researchers used data from thousands of previous studies of animal behavior to build a map of their contribution to seed dispersal. They then compared a map that nullifies the effect of human-caused species extinctions and shrinking ranges. (You can read: In pictures: The little-known opossum found in Guainía) The results were surprising. Loss in seed dispersal was most pronounced in temperate regions of North and South America, Europe, and Australia, despite losing only a small percentage of mammal and bird species. And it was less in the tropical regions of South America, Africa or Southeast Asia, but it could accelerate if other species such as elephants become extinct. (It may interest you: A little-known species of opossum is found in Guainía) “If enough seeds are not dispersed to follow the environmental conditions, such as temperature and rainfall, that plants need, they can become trapped in environments where they will have difficulty surviving. This could lead to the loss of plant species, along with the valuable products and services that they guarantee, from food to carbon storage,” the authors note in an article published in The Conversation, where they summarize part of the research of their research.

The merengue team beat Athletic Bilbao, who was defending the title, at the King Fahd stadium in Riyadh. Luka Modric (d) celebrates with Ferland Mendy one of Real Madrid's goals this Sunday Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup this Sunday by beating Athletic Bilbao, who defended the title, 2-0 at the King Fahd stadium in Riyadh. Luka Modric opened the scoring (minute 38) and Karim Benzema added to the white penalty account (52) to give Madrid its twelfth Super Cup. The merengue team took revenge on Athletic, their executioner in last year's semifinal (2-1) before beating FC Barcelona 3-2 in extra time in the final. On the lawn of the King Fahd stadium, Madrid had more possession of the ball this Sunday against an Athletic team that sought to put pressure on the Whites' exit from above. The capital team modified to avoid the rival pressure to reach the domains of Unai Simón, but it was difficult for them to find the holes to shoot. Madrid would close with the goal in an internship by Rodrygo in the area that gave way behind so that Modric released a shot that slipped into the Basque goal (38). Right after the break, Athletic coach Marcelino García Toral tried to revolutionize his team with the entry of Nico Williams for Alejandro Berenguer, seeking to give his team more dynamism. But when Athletic appeared to increase the pace, Yeray's hand inside his area was sanctioned with a penalty at the request of the video referee, who notified the referee of the infraction. Benzema was in charge of converting the maximum penalty (52) to extend the merengue account and put more pressure on the Lions. Ahead on the scoreboard, Carlo Ancelotti's cast left the initiative to Athletic, forcing them to attack and open up more, to try to find the third on the counterattack. Athletic ended up laying siege to the white goal until Militao's handball was sanctioned with a penalty and red card, but Courtois stopped the maximum penalty launched by Raúl García with his foot (88). With one less on the field, Madrid withstood the rival attacks in the last few minutes to take the victory.

Happy Birthday dude!

Frenkie loses credit and Luuk establishes himself with goals Frenkie de Jong (Arkel, the Netherlands; 24 years old) left the King Fahad International Stadium with his head down and dragging his feet, despondent because he does not uncork his football, a useful player to get out of messes on his field and to put into practice the defense to the man because he has plenty physically, but sterile in the forward positions and anonymous in the rival area. Deficiencies that call into question his everlasting ownership and a whole reverse curve to what happens to him with Luuk de Jong (Aigle, Switzerland; 31 years old), a striker did not count for the coach or the sports area, to the point that accommodation was sought for him and he almost did not go to Cádiz, now a player assembled in the eleven for his merits and goals. The upside down life. On the horn and as a gift to Koeman, Luuk de Jong arrived at Barça in the last days of the summer market, the sports area resigned because the money was not enough for more. “He contributed something different, but there were doubts that he would win a place. Although he understood his role from the beginning because he is very intelligent, ”explains a club worker, aware that they were taking over a substitute from Sevilla. And his first months were horrible because he played little and badly, out of step with Barça football, always with a crooked peephole as evidence against Dinamo or Benfica, also Cádiz, Granada, Osasuna and Rayo. He even lost the confidence of the coach, who put the young Jutglà before him. But when he seemed sentenced, the goal was enlarged. He has 25 shots and 10 of them between the sticks (0.67%) -only behind the records of Memphis (1.13%) and Ansu (0.89%)-, with three career goals in the last duels (Majorca, Granada and Madrid). “How am I going to get him out?” Xavi questioned after losing in the Super Cup; "If he continues to perform like this, scoring, he will continue playing." Morrocotuda surprise that of the striker, who has become a support point when nobody had him, a figure that complements the team because the attacks look for the amplitude and the extremes to supply him with aerial balls. That's how Ancelotti saw it: "Barcelona has caused us problems with the centers, something they don't usually do". Luuk had it clear since he arrived: "They signed me so that I could change the tactics". An understanding that, however, is diluted with Frenkie. When Xavi was asked about Memphis before Madrid, he pointed out: "Those who earn it will play and will have more merit." And sat down the attacker. It remains to be seen if the same happens with Frenkie, fourth with the most minutes on the course (1,901), a slipstream from Memphis (1,946), Ter Stegen (2,280) and Busquets (2,372). The competition is overwhelming in the axis because the ownership of Busquets is discounted, in addition to the settlement of Gavi and the strength of Nico, until now punished by regulations because LaLiga requires always having seven first team players on the pitch and otherwise could incur misalignment. It also happens that Pedri, who has been asked by Xavi to channel the offensives, is already added to the equation. Task in which De Jong gets involved, third in the number of passes made in the opposite field (789), behind Busquets (1,254) and Alba (936), but with only two assists. Less than Alba (6), Gavi and Dest (3), and on par with Nico, Mingueza, Memphis and Dembélé. But Xavi demands that the media connect with the forwards in advantageous positions. “That is the Frenkie we want”, he praised him after Villarreal. Although after Osasuna he criticized him. "He, like the other players, has to learn to see the moment to break into space or keep possession." Even the fans whistled at him for the first time in three courses, after they replaced him against Elche and it was confirmed that he is far from being the player who amazed at Ajax. Xavi replied saying that he is “non-transferable and that he “needs help to develop”. But Frenkie runs out of credit. The opposite of what happens to Luuk.

The plan, which will seek to offer solutions "in the short and medium term", and not a "naturalization" in the long term, supposes a fulfillment of the electoral promise. The Ecuadorian government plans to announce this month its regularization plan for Venezuelan migration, a project in which original countries and the United Nations have been involved to offer inclusive solutions to more than half a million people. "We are a few days away from formally presenting the regulations worked not only internally and based on what President Guillermo Lasso governed the country, but precisely with the donor conference," the new Ecuadorian foreign minister told Efe, Juan Carlos Holguín. The plan, which will seek to offer "in the short and medium term", and not a "naturalization" in the long term, supposes a fulfillment of the electoral promise that the president made to solve the humanitarian problem of hundreds of miles of migrants living in the country. Andean in the last five years. According to Holguín, it is about "more than 500,000 people who are already stable in Ecuador without regularization and who want to make Ecuador their stable place." The plan also had solutions to "almost 200,000 floating people going south," which has also required dialogue with the Government of Colombia and Peru. The intention is to offer "immediate" regularization for those who cannot receive the plan of the previous Lenín Moreno government, either due to the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic or because they simply do not have the 50 dollars required for the humanitarian visa. It is, the minister pointed out, a process so that "those citizens who were not regularized will have, not only a perspective of dignity, but also of economic, social and cultural inclusion in our country." And "make transparent what is not transparent today." "It is a huge challenge but that is the situation we have," said the minister without offering figures on the cost of the project, in which countries such as Canada, Germany and others from the European Union have offered their help so that the plan "includes the concerns "that are had. "As we say here, they have helped with 'with money and person', with non-reimbursable cooperation funds, with technical equipment, and the United Nations system played a fundamental role." Among the requirements that will be taken into account are the candidate's criminal record, according to the minister, for whom the project offers to resolve "the vulnerability" of this group. "Now, this solution process does not remove the problem of origin that migration has and that - I believe in a very personal way - is something that must be discussed in the region," he said.

Tracking the movements of large wild animals, researchers developed the software ‘enerscape’ – protecting species and helping humans avoid animal contact arge land animals impact the ecology and biodiversity of the regions of land they live in and navigate. Should these routes, such as stopping places of cattle, horses, sheep, and those of wolves or bears overlap with those of people, this contact between humans and animals could easily lead to conflict. However, these new maps being made by enerscape are simpler than measurements obtained using radio transmitters – additionally, they can be used where conventional methods fail. Tested in the Abruzzo region of Italy, the software tracks the movements of the endangered and protected Marsican brown bear, around the region of the Sirente Velino Regional Park. By recording the bears’ patterns of movement in the 50,000-hectare park, the maps can protect the threatened species as well as the people living there, and the sensitive flora. Dr Emilio Berti, first author of the study, said: “What’s special is that the software requires very little data as a basis. The energy an animal needs to expend to travel a certain distance is calculated, based on the weight of that animal and its general movement behaviour. This energy expenditure is then integrated with the topographical information of an area. “From this information we can then create ‘energy landscape maps’ for individuals as well as for groups of animals. Our maps are calculated rather than measured and thus represent a cost-effective alternative to traditional maps. “In particular applications, such as the conditions in the Italian national park, our method makes the creation of movement pattern maps actually possible at all.” Bears use routes which require the least energy expenditure Published in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, researchers found that bears choose paths that require less energy expenditure using enerscape. These paths, often leading through settlements, can often result in fatalities for the animals, should bears come into contact with people. This software can help avoid this encounter. The software additionally predicts that bears wanting to save energy will tend to stay in valleys, far away from human settlements. It also identify bear conflict and protection zones, with its maps being able to check whether landscape elements are still well-connected enough to enable the animals to move around the area sufficiently. Enerscape is based on the widely used programming language ‘R’, with its modular structure it can process animal movement and topographical data from a wide variety of ecosystem types. Emphasising the special nature of enerscape, Professor Fritz Vollrath from the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford and senior author of the study said: “This makes it possible for both researchers and wildlife managers to adapt the software to a wide variety of landscapes and animals. “This means that the number of maps of animal movement in landscapes will increase in just a short time. With significantly more cartographical data, the understanding of the behavioural ecology of a species in a certain habitat will also fundamentally change.

The Ebroh brand stages a new electrical creation developed and approved in Spain. The Bravo CR delivers a power of 11.3 hp, offers a maximum speed of 115 km / and is committed to offering 100 kilometers of autonomy. Four years ago, Ebroh lost itself to the world of electromobility as a successful startup. Based in Zaragoza, the brand offers several two-wheeled models (both bikes, motorcycles and scooters), and one of its latest creations has been the Ebroh Bravo CR, a faired electric motorcycle that completes the range of the Bravo GLE ('naked ') and the Bravo GLS (' roadster '). The Bravo CR is a motorcycle whose features, performance, design and handling have nothing to envy of the gasoline motorcycles in its segment. It maintains a modern motorcycle silhouette, with a clearly ‘Sport Touring’ approach, which stands out for transmitting modernity and versatility. These two elements are in high demand in this segment and, therefore, Ebroh has devised this Bravo as an element of penetration in the European market. Thanks for watching It stands out for offering a very ergonomic driving position, which allows it to cover the 100 kilometers of autonomy that it proves without signs of fatigue for the user. Its dimensions and distribution of weights allow to circulate with total comfort. With 147 kilos we can say that it is a really manageable motorcycle. The frame offers a double upper cradle and a second lower cradle. Its structure is tubular. The suspensions worked a hydraulic fork of 35 mm diameter 125 travel. The seatposts have 194mm between the centers of the hanger bar anchors. Back mounted a hydraulic monoshock with progressive system. It mounts 17-inch aluminum wheels, double disc brakes at the front and single disc at the rear. Its motor highlights its highly efficient brushless system, which allows it to maintain good power delivery in any driving mode.
