Also, this is the most expensive version of the bike which comes in three colour options including Ebony Black, Cocktail Wine Red, and Saffire Blue.
All the other aspects of the motorcycle remain the same as the existing variants. It comes powered by a 115.45cc, air-cooled mill that churns out 8.44bhp and 9.81Nm. This unit comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. As for the cycle parts, it rides on 17-inch wheels that are suspended by telescopic forks and dual springs (with Nitrox). The list of features comprises a halogen headlamp, with LED DRL, an 11-litre fuel tank, and a semi-digital console.
