The 225cc motorcycle weighs 160 Kgs and delivers a whoppings 20.4 PS Power, making it one the best power to weight ratio in its category, along with a 19.93 Nm Torque. The motorcycle has been engineered with unique tech features like rain and urban ABS modes, Glide Through Technology (GTT) and Smart Bluetooth connectivity with voice and ride assistance, in a retro design package.
