Double shock-absorbing suspension and a double cradle frame improve stability. Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, an electronically controlled anti-lock braking system and traction control support safe riding, while ultra-wide tires provide grip. Keyless unlocking, navigation and riding data recording are also provided.
Continue readingMulti-Dimensional is a quilt designed for warmth and healthy sleep. The outer fabric is a blend of nylon and cotton, and the filling is 95 percent German Rhine goose down. These materials provide moisture absorption, breathability and warmth. The quilt uses an overlapping multidimensional structure formed by staggered stitching. The stitching creates a looped and stacked inner texture that gives the down clusters more space to expand. The added fluffiness and resilience improve insulation. The exterior design is inspired by mountain ranges in Chinese culture.
