The changes have been made to the ES and Adventure Sport trims. In addition to the Grand Prix Red and Ballistic Black Metallic colours, the ES now boasts an attractive-looking, Pearl Glare White paint scheme. The standard model will continue with the older colours.
The road-focused, Adventure Sport trim, continues to get the Pearl Glare White paint scheme along with a brand new Matt Iridium Grey Metallic finish.
On the specifications front, it is unchanged. The heart of the matter is still the good old 1048cc, twin pod, liquid-cooled, petrol burner, which churns out 100.05hp and 112Nm of torque. It continues to offer a standard 6-speed manual gearbox or a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
Suspension duties are taken care of by Showa-sourced setup, which is standard across the range. The base model gets standard springs, while the ES variant is loaded with an electronic Ride Adjustment suspension.
The initial two variants of the motorcycle roll on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. Whereas, the top-spec Adventure Sports variant rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels.
The motorcycle’s current iteration on sale in India is priced at Rs 16 lakh for the manual and Rs 17.55 lakh for the DCT variant. Both are ex-showroom figures, as of July 2024. This new 2025 iteration is expected to arrive in India soon.
