This unit churns out 120 bhp at 10,250 rpm and 93.3 Nm at 8,250 rpm. The good news for Indian customers is that it doesn't get the desmotronic valve system anymore replacing them with conventional valve springs. This translates to a longer service interval as well as skips the expensive desmotronic service.

Expected to launch soon, it gets a new colour option along with golden upside-down forks which add to the aesthetic of the bike.
