Previously it derived power from a BS 4 compliant 645 cc liquid-cooled engine with DOHC and 90-degree V-Twin configuration. This engine churned out 70 PS of maximum power at 8,800 rpm and 62 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. In the updated BS 6 configuration, the output and fuel-economy figures could alter slightly.

It comes loaded with a semi-digital instrument cluster packing an analogue rev counter on the left side complemented by a digital split screen on the right. The screen displays all the necessary information in a simple and uncluttered format.

Some of its other feature highlights include a tall windscreen, single-piece headlight, large and comfortable seat, upright riding position, long travel suspension, and wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres.

Its suspension duties are performed by long travel conventional telescopic front fork and a monoshock unit at the rear. Its braking setup include twin front discs and a single disc at the rear. The brakes work in-conjunction with a dual-channel ABS. The bikes also features three-level traction control – Level 1, Level 2 (wet or cold conditions) and Off.

The BS 6 update will result in a minor price hike. For the record, the previous BS 4 spec model retailed at 7,52,084 (ex-showroom, Mumbai).
