This engine produces maximum power of 20.4 PS and torque of 19.93 Nm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox, which also has assist and slipper clutch.
This setup can be used for daily use in the city as well as for highway riding. Slipper clutch helps in making riding more comfortable during gear downshifts.
Many options are also available in features
