In terms of exterior styling, there is no significant update. It still features the typical cruiser inspired look with a laid-back seating position and long/extended handle-bar for a relaxed riding posture. Also, the colour and sticker styling remains unchanged.

It carries the fully-digital instrument cluster as before which is capable of displaying all the required information in a simple laid-out manner. Moreover, its other highlights such as fuel tank mounted secondary display, chrome exhaust, cushioned pillion backrest, uniquely designed halogen headlight with LED DRLs, long windscreen, spoke wheels and chrome rearview mirrors remain the same.

Some of its main hardware compos include telescopic front forks with double anti-friction bush and 5-way rear adjustable twin shock absorbers. It braking components include a 280 mm disc (front) and 130 mm drum (rear). It also features a single-channel ABS.
