TT Score
A strong middleweight roadster for an Indian buyer who values performance and claimed 27 km/l efficiency, but its ₹7.26 lakh ex-showroom price and roughly ₹8.33–₹9.37 lakh published on-road cost make it a substantial purchase.
Who it suits
- Performance-focused daily rider — The 649 cc engine makes 67.31 bhp and 64 Nm while the claimed mileage is 27 km/l, giving this buyer a performance-oriented package without abandoning fuel efficiency.
- Urban-to-highway rider — Its 770 mm width, 790 mm seat height and 191 kg kerb weight provide a manageable-sized motorcycle on paper while the 201 kmph claimed top speed suits higher-speed highway use.
- Long-term middleweight owner — The 15-litre fuel tank paired with the claimed 27 km/l efficiency gives a theoretical range of about 405 km between refuels.
Worth knowing
- · The ₹7.26 lakh ex-showroom price translates to published on-road figures of ₹8.33 lakh in Delhi up to ₹9.37 lakh in Chennai, so the purchase cost varies signifi
- · At 191 kg and 790 mm seat height, it is not a lightweight or especially low motorcycle for everyday Indian traffic.
- · The published safety specification lists ABS and disc brakes but provides no further safety equipment to score beyond those items.
