supported by:

INS Vikrant and gives it strength and solidity.

outstanding rigidity and strength and the ergonomics enables the rider to ride

exhaust note. The V engine delivers maximum torque of 13 Nm at 5500 RPM,
and a peak power of 12 PS power at 7500 rpm. The result is a motorcycle that
has ample reserves of torque at any RPM for riding through thick and thin.
