    Dubbed as 'Master of Street Scooter,' the new X-Force sports a very sharp front fascia kitted with a split LED headlight and a smoked visor. The vertical turn indicators merge smoothly with the edges of the apron. On the back, we can see a compact design featuring an LED tail light bar accentuating the whole rear look.
