The new colors include a black paint scheme with red and white graphics, and other vibrant options. I think these new colors will give the bike a fresh look.

This update included several additional features to comply with the new emission norms. The price increase was about Rs. 2,000 over the BS4 version. This transition to BS6 is crucial for environmental compliance.

This update includes dual-channel ABS, making the bike safer for both road and track use. The new model was unveiled at the 2018 Auto Expo and has been a popular choice since its launch. I think the addition of ABS is a significant step towards enhancing safety features.
