      The bike offers a competitive mileage of roughly 30-35 km/l under normal riding conditions, making it a good choice for adventure seekers seeking a balance between performance and fuel efficiency.

      Dual-channel ABS for added safety and an analog-digital instrument cluster with a speedometer, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, trip meter, and other information shown are among the bike's standard features.
