Who it suits

  • Performance-focused daily rider — The 451 cc engine makes a claimed 51.2 bhp and 43 Nm, giving this buyer substantially more performance headroom than a typical commuter.
  • Sportbike buyer who still rides in the c — Its 785 mm seat height and 171 kg kerb weight are manageable figures for everyday use while retaining a full-size motorcycle format.
  • Long-distance solo rider — The 14-litre fuel tank paired with a claimed 26.3 kmpl economy gives a theoretical range of about 368 km between refuels.
  • Rider prioritising fuel efficiency among — The claimed 26.3 kmpl is a strong running-cost figure for a 451 cc petrol motorcycle.

Worth knowing

  • · The ₹5.66–₹5.76 lakh ex-showroom price rises to published on-road figures of ₹6.55–₹7.24 lakh depending on city.
  • · The 785 mm seat and 171 kg kerb weight still make it a substantially larger proposition than a typical Indian commuter.
  • · The published safety data lists only front and rear disc brakes, so no additional safety equipment should be assumed from the supplied data.
