Besides, 30-metre-long pipe with a water cannon and dual nozzles for versatile firefighting operations have also been included. The bike includes a custom-made water tank rack that maintains its centre of gravity.
The motorcycles are also equipped with advanced communication tools – a walkie-talkie, an emergency siren, and Bluetooth-enabled helmets.
