Engine and performance

Power comes from a 900cc single producing 64 bhp and 80 Nm, paired with a 5 Speed. At 216 kg the power-to-weight figure is 296 bhp per tonne, which ranks 22 of 51 in its class here.

Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Dimensions in practice

The Speed Twin 900 weighs 216 kg with fluids, has an 780 mm seat, 130 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1435 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.

The fuel tank holds 12 litres.

Tyres are 100/90-18 front and 150/70-R17 rear, tubeless.

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.

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.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

  • USD front forks

    Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.

  • Slipper clutch

    Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.

Console and connectivity

  • 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.

  • Engine kill switch

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