To ensure the rider's safety, the Honda ADV350 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS and a switchable traction control system for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the maxi-scooter are taken care of by 37mm inverted forks on the front side and twin shock absorbers on the rear end.
