Engine and performance

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Safety and braking

  • Dual-channel ABS

    Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.

  • Front disc brake

    Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.

  • Rear disc brake

    Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Traction control

    Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

  • Hazard lamps

    All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

Lighting

  • LED headlamp

    Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Colour TFT console

    Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.

  • Digital console

    Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.

  • Bluetooth connectivity

    Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation

    Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.

  • Ride modes

    An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

    Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.

  • Keyless start

    Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.

  • External fuel filler

    Fill up without getting off or lifting the seat. A daily-use feature on scooters.

  • Under-seat storage

    Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.

  • Engine kill switch

    Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.

Equipment against CE 04, CE 02 and SX25

Against CE 04, CE 02 or SX25, it gets dual-channel abs, traction control, keyless start and external fuel filler that most rivals skip.

It is offered in 1 colours: Diamond White Metallic. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
