It comes mated to a 5-speed transmission with Assist-&-Slipper clutch for smoother gear shifts. This powertrain is known for its strong low-end torque and smooth tractability.
In terms of features, it comes equipped with dual-channel ABS, semi-digital instrument cluster, Type-C USB Fast Charging port, all-LED lighting system, and adjustable clutch and brake levers.
Rivals
In the mid-size motorcycle segment, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 takes on the likes of the Honda CB350 series, Yezdi Roadster, and Jawa 350.
