Updated model is now about to produce more power & torque.
The main motto of the new update is the increase in performance characteristics. It is powered by the 199.6cc, air + oil cooled, 4V/C SOHC motor producing about 19.1PS & 17.35Nm at 8,500 & 6,500rpm respectively. Main change here is the inclusion of 4V setup. We can able to see the hike in performance factors compared to that of the predecessor due to this. 4V setup (2 for intake & 2 for exhaust) allows the engine to breathe more and inject the fuel according to that to squeeze out extra ponies from the motor. Manufacturer claims that the motor produces 6% more power & 5% more torque compared to that of the 2V setup. Along with it, oil cooling system has also been updated and the engine is mated to a 5 speed transmission system.

Braking duties are handled by discs at both the ends with single channel ABS as standard. Rally kit for the motorbike is also offered by the manufacturer like its predecessor. The motorbike weighs about 158kg and the ground clearance comes about 220mm which is decent in numbers. Other than that, it gets a fully digital LCD instrument cluster with connectivity features like the ongoing model with navigation assist. With the updated motor, now the motorbike stands down as a perfect competitor against the only rival CB200X from Honda.
