The official mileage for the model has not been released while getting anything above 10 kmpl on regular traffic-filled roads seems impossible from the 998cc, inline-4 engine. The braking department is handled by 330mm dual discs with Brembo M50 monobloc callipers for the front and 220mm disc at the rear. The 43mm balance-free USD front forks further help the responsive chassis to add life to the riding feel. The ex-showroom price tag for the motorcycle is expected to fall above INR 15 lakh as most brands have already raised the pricing for their litre-class motorcycles in India.
