Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
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.
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.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Chassis
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
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
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Equipment against Bear 650, Scrambler 650 and Scrambler 400 XC
What it lacks: usb charging port, traction control and slipper clutch, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 2 colours: Backstage Black and Desert Gold Matt. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
