Priced at Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom), bookings are now open, with deliveries set to begin by late August 2025. Its aggressive front fascia, dual LED headlamps, and tall windscreen create a commanding road presence, perfect for young riders seeking style and substance. The scooter’s 14-inch alloy wheels and muscular bodywork ensure it stands out in India’s crowded two-wheeler market.
Powerful Performance for City and Beyond
