Braking is supplied by dual discs with twin-pot calipers up front and a single disc with dual-piston caliper in the rear. As the model name suggests, assistance is provided by a new-generation Bosch ABS. And, once stopped, a hand-pull parking brake locks the entire package into place.
The Xciting 500 Ri ABS is available in gray or gold, both with red performance-accented rear suspension spring and brake calipers.
KYMCO USA’s 16-model on-road vehicle line for 2013, in addition to the four models above, is rounded out by the returning Downtown 200i ($5,199) and Downtown 300i ($5,599), People GT 200i ($4,899) and People GT 300i ($5,399), Like 200i ($2,699) and Like 200i LX ($2,799), and Agility 125 ($1,899) and Super 8 150 ($2,499).
